Background MRI of the lung is recommended in a number of clinical indications. Having a
non-radiation alternative is particularly attractive in children and young subjects, or pregnant …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lung has shown tremendous progress in recent
years. This includes parallel imaging, new contrast agents and mechanisms, ultrafast …

Background Among the modalities for lung imaging, proton magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) has been the latest to be introduced into clinical practice. Its value to replace X-ray …

Lung diseases of children often need diagnostic imaging beyond X-ray. Although CT is
considered the gold standard of lung imaging, MRI is sufficient to answer most of the …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lung is technically challenging due to the low
proton density and fast signal decay of the lung parenchyma itself. Additional challenges …

Pulmonary MRI provides structural and quantitative functional images of the lungs without
ionizing radiation, but it has had limited clinical use due to low signal intensity from the lung …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to review currently available and emerging
techniques for pediatric lung MRI for general radiologists. CONCLUSION. MRI is a radiation …

Further, international world-renowned experts describe how MRI can be used in the clinical
setting to diagnose, characterize and quantify different lung diseases such as pulmonary …

Pediatric chest MRI is challenging. High-resolution scans of the lungs and airways are
compromised by long imaging times, low lung proton density and motion. Low signal is a …

Imaging speed, spatial resolution and availability have made CT the favored cross-sectional
imaging modality for evaluating various respiratory diseases of children—but only for the …
