Feasibility of quantitative regional ventilation and perfusion mapping with phase‐resolved functional lung (PREFUL) MRI in healthy volunteers and COPD, CTEPH, and CF patients

Abstract

This study shows the feasibility of phase-resolved functional lung imaging to gain quantitative information regarding regional lung perfusion and ventilation without the need for ultrafast imaging, which will be advantageous for future clinical translation.
