Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Quantitative Assessment of Lung Aeration: A Pilot Translational Study

Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Quantitative Assessment of Lung Aeration: A Pilot Translational Study

Background: Computed tomography is the gold standard for lung aeration assessment, but exposure to ionizing radiation limits its application. We assessed the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect changes in lung aeration in ex vivo isolated swine lung and the potential of translation...
