Pulmonary MRI can now provide high‐resolution images that are sensitive to early disease
and specific to inflammation in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. With specificity and function …

The use of pulmonary MRI in a clinical setting has historically been limited. Whilst CT
remains the gold-standard for structural lung imaging in many clinical indications, technical …

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 …

Structural and functional defects within the lungs of children with cystic fibrosis (CF) are
detectable soon after birth and progress throughout preschool years often without overt …

Background A recent single-centre study demonstrated that MRI is sensitive to detect early
abnormalities in the lung and response to therapy in infants and preschool children with …

Background Free‐breathing 1H ventilation MRI shows promise but only single‐center
validation has yet been performed against methods which directly image lung ventilation in …

Conventional pulmonary function tests appear normal in early cystic fibrosis (CF) lung
disease. Therefore, new diagnostic approaches are required that can detect CF lung …

Fluorine‐19 (19F) MRI using inhaled inert fluorinated gases is an emerging technique that
can provide functional images of the lungs. Inert fluorinated gases are nontoxic, abundant …

Lung diseases have a high prevalence amongst the world population and their early
diagnosis has been pointed out to be key for successful treatment. However, there is still a …

Pulmonary functional magnetic resonance imaging (PfMRI) provides a way to non-invasively
map and measure the spatial distribution of pulmonary ventilation, perfusion and gas …
