We have developed both the acquisition methodology and post-processing algorithms for
3D volume MRI. Using 3D MRI, T 2*, lung volume changes between inspiration and …

Three-dimensional (3D) ventilation flow-weighted (VFW) maps together with 3D ventilation-
weighted (VW) maps may help to better assess pulmonary function. To investigate the use of …

Rationale and Objectives: We sought to investigate lung volume and surface measurements
during the breathing cycle using dynamic three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging …

Background Computed tomography (CT) and spirometry are the current standard methods
for assessing lung anatomy and pulmonary ventilation, respectively. However, CT provides …

Purpose This study aimed to develop a 3D MRI technique to assess lung ventilation in free‐
breathing and without the administration of contrast agent. Methods A 3D‐UTE sequence …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The authors present their initial experience using a 3-T
whole-body scanner equipped with a 128-channel coil applied to lung motion assessment …

. 1H magnetic resonance imaging has had limited value in the lung due to short T2* in spite
of research showing that functional information can be obtained with oxygen enhanced MRI …

A four-dimensional (4D) respiratory motion-resolved UTE MRI method is presented for free-
breathing lung MRI with isotropic spatial resolution. Center-out radial half-projection k-space …

Background Three‐dimensional (3D) ventilation flow capacity‐weighted (VFCW) maps
together with 3D ventilation‐weighted (VW) maps may help to better assess pulmonary …

Purpose Lung function is typically characterized by spirometer measurements, which do not
offer spatially specific information. Imaging during exhalation provides spatial information …
