Objective To develope a self-gated free-breathing 3D sequence allowing for simultaneous T
1-weighted imaging and quantitative T_ 2^* T 2∗ mapping in different breathing phases in …

Purpose To provide a robust method for the simultaneous quantification of T1 and T2* in the
human lung during free breathing. Breathing pure oxygen accelerates T1 and T2* relaxation …

This paper describes imaging of lung function with oxygen-enhanced MRI using dynamically
acquired T 1 parameter maps, which allows an accurate, quantitative assessment of time …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate oxygen‐enhanced pulmonary imaging at 0.55 T
with 3D stack‐of‐spirals ultrashort‐TE (UTE) acquisition. Oxygen‐enhanced pulmonary MRI …

Object The investigation of three-dimensional radial, zero-echo time (TE) imaging for high-
resolution, free-breathing magnetic resonance (MR) lung imaging using prospective and …

Background Imaging of the lung by MRI is challenging due to the intrinsic low proton density
and rapid T2* relaxation. MRI methods providing lung parenchyma and function are in …

Blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) MRI is a non-invasive diagnostic method for
assessing tissue oxygenation level, by changes in the transverse relaxation time T2*. 3D …

Purpose To demonstrate that the use of nonquantitative methods in oxygen‐enhanced (OE)
lung imaging can be problematic and to present a new approach for quantitative OE lung …

Purpose: To use the acquisition of the k‐space center signal (DC signal) implemented into a
Cartesian three‐dimensional (3D) FLASH sequence for retrospective respiratory self‐gating …

Compared with hyperpolarized noble gas MRI, oxygen-enhanced lung imaging is a cost-
effective approach to investigate lung function. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of …
