Magnetic resonance imaging of lung parenchyma

Imaging of the lungs presents a unique challenge for MR technology. Signal from lung parenchyma is limited by low proton density, the effects of motion and susceptibility, and a multiexponential T2 relaxation time. We have illustrated the use of spin echo and projection reconstruction MR sequences i...

Zusammenfassung:	Imaging of the lungs presents a unique challenge for MR technology. Signal from lung parenchyma is limited by low proton density, the effects of motion and susceptibility, and a multiexponential T2 relaxation time. We have illustrated the use of spin echo and projection reconstruction MR sequences in imaging lung parenchyma, and the use of a GRE sequence in imaging the pulmonary vascular tree.
