ABSTRACT Background The pulsatile expansion of pulmonary vessels carries dynamic cardiopulmonary information that may reveal disease earlier than structural changes alone. Purpose To test (i) intra‐ and inter‐scan repeatability of dynamic vessel metrics in healthy subjects, and (ii) whether chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and postcapillary

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 ...

Cognitive Dysfunction Is Associated With an Underestimation of Respiratory Function in ALS
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims The association between low forced vital capacity (FVC) and cognitive impairment in ALS is ambiguous; it could be due to respiratory dysfunction and/or poor effort from cognitive deficits. We used the objective, non‐volitional phrenic nerve motor response amplitude (PAmp) to clarify how cognitive status affects the ...

Accelerating PREFUL MRI: Comparison of Registration Methods and Impact of Time Series Reduction
Retrospective shortening of the PREFUL MRI acquisition showed that most parameters remained strongly correlated (≥ 77%) and regionally concordant (overlap ≥ 79%) with the 55‐s ground truth down to 30 s in healthy volunteers and COPD, except for perfusion, which was more sensitive to truncation.

A cardiopulmonary exercise testing‐derived summed score effectively predicted mortality or lung transplantation risk in newly diagnosed interstitial lung disease. Higher summed scores (2–5) were associated with markedly lower event‐free survival rates.
