The determination of functional lung parameters, as determined by SENCEFUL-MRI, benefits from the increased signal intensity a UTE-sequence can acquire in the lung.
a) absolute perfusion values and b) perfusion phase as determined by SENCEFUL in MRI acquisitions using a Cartesian or radial read-out scheme at different echo times. c) Distribution of the perfusion phase values in the lung.
a) ventilation maps as determined by SENCEFUL in MRI acquisitions using a Cartesian or radial read-out scheme at different echo times. b) Distribution of the absolute ventilation values in the lung.
