Comparison of Signal‐ and Volume‐Based Ventilation‐Weighted Assessment Using 3D FLORET UTE MRI in Patients With Various Pulmonary Disease

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose 3D free‐breathing, proton, contrast‐agent‐free MR methods are increasingly used for pulmonary ventilation‐weighted measurements. The methods are split between: (1) signal‐based, which rely on lung parenchyma signal changes during respiration, and (2) volume‐based that utilize the Jacobian determinant of deformation fields from the ...

Interrelationships among handgrip strength, body composition, physical activity, and quality of life in adults with cystic fibrosis: A cross‐sectional study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), lean mass and muscle strength are important predictors of clinical outcomes. This study evaluated associations among body composition, handgrip strength, muscle quality, physical activity, and health‐related quality of life in CF. Methods This observational, cross‐sectional study included 27
