[High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging of pulmonary circulation; a prospect].
A prospect on high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging of pulmonary circulation is presented, utilizing surface coils, ECG-gating, fast scan technique and breath-holding. A goal for MRI should be the blood-flow-related information, which can not be obtained by CT.
