Purpose To evaluate lung water density at three different levels of lung inflation in normal
lungs using a fast gradient echo sequence developed for rapid imaging. Materials and …

The aim of this study was to develop a magnetic resonance (MR) sequence capable of
measuring water content and the gravity-dependent gradient in lung density in normal lung …

Purpose: To validate a fast gradient echo sequence for rapid (9 s) quantitative imaging of
lung water. Materials and Methods: Eleven excised pig lungs were imaged with a fast GRE …

Purpose To test the hypothesis that, in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of healthy
individuals, equal relative changes in lung volume cause equal relative changes in MR …

Purpose To implement and assess the performance of three‐dimensional (3D) ultra‐short
echo (UTE) time for evaluating lung tissue density changes induced by gravity dependence …

The purpose of this study was to validate water content measurements and to determine the
T2 distribution in lung on a 1.5 T clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. A …

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

The T1 values of lung parenchyma of 25 patients with fibrosis and emphysema were
measured in the entire lung, and the effect of inspiration and expiration was investigated. T1 …

We have developed a new analytical method that uses nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
imaging data to quantify lung water content and distribution. This new method generates a …

Since the lung receives the entire cardiac output, sophisticated imaging techniques are not
required in order to measure total organ perfusion. However, for many years studying lung …
