In investigating image-based lung ventilation, a fundamental question must be answered: is the measurement technique repeatable? Repeatability of ventilation imaging in PET and CT have been studied, but MRI is emerging. Crucial to deriving ventilation is the...

Recent advances in MRI could offer patients with benign lung disease whole-lung ventilation mapping that may serve as a surrogate for pathophysiological changes such as increased airway resistance and decreased lung compliance. Ventilation maps can be derived...
