The purpose of our study was to investigate the
technical feasibility of CODE(Concurrent Dephasing and
Excitation) MRI in human lung. 1.3mm3 isotropic voxel 3D
radial CODE imaging was performed in three healthy adult
volunteers on 3.0 T MR system. An overall image quality
of CODE was graded good to excellent. Pulmonary vessels
were consistently traceable from central to subpleural
area in whole lung. Thin bronchial walls were traceable
from main bronchus to segmental bronchi with mild motion
and streak artifacts on CODE. Lobar fissures were also
identifiable. CODE MRI was techinally feasible in human
lung on a clinical scanner.
