The lung is a dynamic mechanical organ and several pulmonary disorders are characterized
by heterogeneous changes in the lung's local mechanical properties (ie stiffness). These …

Purpose To investigate the use of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in the
quantitative assessment of pulmonary fibrosis by comparing quantitative shear stiffness …

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a progressive disease that disrupts the mechanical homeostasis
of the lung extracellular matrix (ECM). These effects are particularly relevant in the lung …

Lung stiffness changes with different diseases; in which some diseases make the lung stiffer
while others make it softer. This study was performed on 15 healthy volunteers to validate …

Lung diseases are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, from which four million
people die annually. Lung diseases are associated with changes in the mechanical …

Lungs are considered one of the vital organs in the human body. They continuously
experience various mechanical stresses caused by the natural physiology of breathing …

Purpose Lung stiffness alters with many diseases; therefore, several MR elastography
(MRE) studies were performed earlier to investigate the stiffness of the right lung during …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a non-invasive imaging technique which is
becoming more commonly used in radiology departments to assess different stages of liver …

METHODS Patients with IPF diagnosis referred to the Center for Rare Lung Diseases of the
University Hospital of Modena (Italy) in the period 2020–2023 who underwent High …

Purpose: To develop a novel MR‐based method for visualizing the elastic properties of
human lung parenchyma in vivo and to evaluate the ability of this method to resolve …
