Ultra-short echo-time
1
H
MRI provides pulmonary
1
H
signal intensity (SI) measurements of tissue density.
The objective of this study was to evaluate three-week
reproducibility of
1
H
UTE MRI SI in subjects with bronchiectasis and chronic
bronchitis/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
and compare with
3
He
MRI measurements of apparent diffusion coefficients
(ADC). This is the first evaluation of
1
H
UTE SI reproducibility in bronchiectasis and COPD
subjects and there were high Pearson correlation
coefficients, relatively low COV and high ICC;
reproducibility was high and similar to
3
He
ADC reproducibility in the same subjects.
