Pulmonary Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Asthma Temporal–Spatial Maps
Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Hyperpolarized (3)He magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) previously revealed the temporal and spatial heterogeneity of ventilation defects in asthmatics, but these findings have not been used in treatment studies or to guide personalized therapy. Our objective was to exploit the temporal and spatial information inherent to (3)He MRI and develop image processing methods to generate pulmonary ventilation temporal-spatial …
