MRI of the Lung
For a long time, only chest X-ray and CT were used to image lung structure, while nuclear medicine was employed to assess lung function. During the past decade significant developments have been achieved in the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), e

Foreword
One of the aims of the book series “Medical Radiology – Diagnostic Imaging” is to publish novel work that explores new frontiers in the field of radiological imaging. The investigation of the potential application of MRI to the study of lung diseases is a challenging and exciting field of clinical research driven by the rapid development of new techniques and sequences for cardiac MRI as well as by the use of noble hyperpolarised gases as novel contrast agents. The specific ability of MRI to visualise simultaneously morphological
