Recent advances in magnetic resonance perfusion imaging of the lung.
Magnetic resonance imaging has been relatively underused for clinical application in the lung; however, developments in magnetic resonance perfusion imaging using contrast agents and spin labeling techniques have shown significant potential for clinical application in lung perfusion. This article reviews the recent publications on magnetic resonance pulmonary perfusion.
