Lung MRI:

Can we see beyond the black hole?

PD Dr. Grzegorz Baumann

Division of Radiological Physics, Department of Radiology

University of Basel Hospital

Wednesday, September 21 2022, 17:00

· CPD

Despite the continuous improvement in MRI technology and data processing techniques, thoracic MRI remains exceptionally challenging due to problems associated with several physical properties of the lung. The main problem arises from the foam-like structure of the lung parenchyma results in a proton density that is much lower compared to the surrounding tissues. In addition, a myriad of air-tissue interfaces on the mesoscopic scale cause an extraordinary rapid signal decay. Moreover, respiratory and cardiac motion complicate image acquisition. Nevertheless, during the past decade, a significant amount of effort has been made to develop dedicated MRI techniques for the assessment of the lung structure and function. One of the techniques allowing for markedly improved lung imaging is balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP); a pulse sequence that is highly valued in cardiovascular MRI. In this talk, recent advances in structural and non-invasive functional lung MRI using bSSFP as well as its application in the diagnosis/follow-up of pulmonary diseases will be presented.
