Fast magnetic resonance imaging evaluating of pulmonary progressive massive fibrosis with vibe and HASTE sequences: comparison with computed tomography imaging

Abstract

With fast MRI sequences in pulmonary imaging, image quality has significantly improved being very close to that of CT studies. In this study, contrast-enhanced VIBE protocol provided the best depiction of PMF lesions. This protocol may be an alternative choice for CT, avoiding the use of iodinated contrast material and minimizing exposure to ionizing radiation for follow-up studies.
