Fibrosis plays an important role in many different pathologies. It results from tissue injury,
chronic inflammation, autoimmune reactions and genetic alterations, and it is characterized …

Purpose Hyperpolarized 129Xe magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using Dixon‐based
decomposition enables single‐breath imaging of 129Xe in the airspaces, interstitial barrier …

Purpose To implement pulmonary three‐dimensional (3D) radial ultrashort echo‐time (UTE)
MRI in non‐sedated, free‐breathing neonates and adults with retrospective motion tracking …

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

As pulmonary functional imaging moves beyond the realm of the radiologist and physicist, it
is important that imagers have a common language and understanding of the relevant …

We have developed a novel functional proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique
to measure regional ventilation-perfusion (V̇A/Q̇) ratio in the lung. We conducted a …

Purpose To characterize the reversible transverse relaxation in pulmonary tissue and to
study the benefit of a quadratic exponential (Gaussian) model over the commonly used …

Background: To quantify the relationship between regional lung ventilation and coarse
aerosol deposition in the supine healthy human lung, we used oxygen-enhanced magnetic …

Methods, devices, and systems are disclosed for implementing a fully quantitative non-
injectable contrast proton MRI technique to measure spatial ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) …

MRI of exogenous imaging agents offers a safely repeatable modality to assess regional
pulmonary ventilation. A small number of studies have validated the safety and potential …
