Rationale and Objectives The automated segmentation of organs and tissues throughout the
body using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging has been rapidly …

Progressive lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF) is the life-limiting factor of this autosomal
recessive genetic disorder. Increasing implementation of CF newborn screening allows for a …

Variations in the shape and appearance of anatomical structures in medical images are
often relevant radiological signs of disease. Automatic tools can help automate parts of this …

Purpose This study aimed to develop a 3D MRI technique to assess lung ventilation in free‐
breathing and without the administration of contrast agent. Methods A 3D‐UTE sequence …

Objectives Pulmonary perfusion abnormalities are prevalent in patients with chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are potentially reversible, and may be associated …

Background A previous study demonstrated the feasibility of using 3D radial ultrashort echo
time (UTE) oxygen‐enhanced MRI (UTE OE‐MRI) for functional imaging of healthy human …

Pulmonary proton MRI techniques offer the unique possibility of assessing lung function and
structure without the requirement for hyperpolarization or dedicated hardware, which is …

“Lung perfusion” in the context of imaging conventionally refers to the delivery of blood to the
pulmonary capillary bed through the pulmonary arteries originating from the right ventricle …

Recent imaging studies using chest computed tomography (CT) in presymptomatic infants
and young children with cystic fibrosis (CF) diagnosed by newborn screening presented …

Purpose Monitoring of regional lung function in interventional COPD trials requires
alternative endpoints beyond global parameters such as FEV1. T1 relaxation times of the …
