Comparison of Single‐Breath and Multi‐Breath Xe‐MRI in the Longitudinal Assessment of Treatment in Children With Cystic Fibrosis

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) is a current standard therapy for pediatric cystic fibrosis (CF). Multiple‐breath washout 129Xe MRI (MBW Xe‐MRI) is improved following 1 month of treatment. However, the utility of MBW Xe‐MRI over extended ETI treatment and its comparison to single‐breath Xe‐MRI and pulmonary function tests ...

Analysis of Pulsatile Vessel Expansion in Healthy, COPD‐and PH‐Patients Using Dynamic Vessel Segmentation in Free‐Breathing Lung MRI

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
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
