Pulmonary magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been put forward as a new research and
diagnostic tool mainly to overcome the limitations of computed tomography and nuclear …

Over the past few years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as an important
instrument for functional ventilation imaging. The aim of this review is to summarize …

Since lung magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) became clinically available, limited clinical
utility has been suggested for applying MRI to lung diseases. Moreover, clinical applications …

Imaging of the pulmonary parenchyma represents a unique challenge for MRI. Limited
signal is caused by low proton density, susceptibility artifacts, and physiological motion …

During the past decade significant developments have been achieved in the field of
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), enabling MRI to enter the clinical arena of chest …

Background Chronic lung diseases are a major issue in public health. A serial pulmonary
assessment using imaging techniques free of ionizing radiation and which provides early …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lung has progressed tremendously in recent
years. Because of improvements in speed and image quality, MRI is now ready for routine …

PURPOSE: To demonstrate the capability of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to assess
alteration in regional pulmonary ventilation and perfusion with animal models of airway …

The need for airway imaging is defined by the limited sensitivity of common clinical tests like
spirometry, lung diffusion (DLCO) and blood gas analysis to early changes of peripheral …

Obstructive lung diseases include emphysema, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, asthma, and cystic fibrosis. These diseases are a heterogeneous group …
