Reformatierungen als Lösungsansatz für die Problematik der unterschiedlichen Schichtführung beim Vergleich von3He-MRT und HR-CT der Lunge
2003
Purpose: 3 He-MRI of the lung has been shown to be a sensitive method for functional imaging of the lung. A previous study compared 3 He-MRI (coronal planes) with CT (transverse planes) by looking for ventilation defects and their pathomorphologic correlation. Anatomic structures, such as lobar fissures and hilar vessels, were used for orientation, but the reliable assignment of ventilation defects to lung segments is problematic. The present work compares multiplanar reformations of 3 He-MRI and HR-CT, which were generated from planes determined by the respective method, and investigates their suitability as a solution of this problem. Materials and Methods: A total of 16 data sets taken f…

Purpose: Visual assessment of the ventilation using HRCT and 3 He-MRI in patients after single lung transplantation (SLTX). Analysis of specific ventilation defects found with 3 He-MRI and morphological changes found with HRCT. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 8male patients (54 ′ 6 years) suffering from emphysema and six patients (3males and 3 females, 58 ′ 9.5 years) suffering from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) after SLTX. The morphological changes at HRCT were classified and localized. In 3 He-MRI (2D FLASH), 10 to 14 slices (slice thickness 10 mm, gap 5 mm) were acquired in coronal orientation to cover the whole lung. Ventilation defects were localized and characterized. The vi…
