Assessment of lung perfusion impairment in patients with pulmonary artery‐occlusive and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases with noncontrast electrocardiogram‐gated fast‐spin‐echo perfusion MR imaging

Abstract

This noninvasive MR technique allows qualitative and quantitative assessment of lung perfusion, and may better characterize regional perfusion impairment in pulmonary artery-occlusive diseases and COPD.
