MR lung imaging at 0.2 T with T1-weighted true FISP: native and oxygen-enhanced

C J Müller et al. J Magn Reson Imaging. 2001 Aug.

Abstract

An inversion recovery true fast imaging with steady precession (FISP) pulse sequence was developed to carry out fast imaging of the lungs at 0.2 T. Using this sequence, oxygen-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) lung imaging was performed on healthy volunteers. The lungs showed signal enhancement (11.7% +/- 3.8%) when breathing 100% oxygen. Using inversion recovery, true FISP at low field may prove promising for MR lung imaging.
