Pulmonary 3D MR imaging with ultra-short TE (UTE-MRI)
has been suggested as having the potential for
demonstration of lung structures and functions. However,
to the best of our knowledge, no direct comparison of
capability for radiological finding assessment has been
made between UTE-MRI at 3T system and thin-section CT
(TS-CT) in patients with various pulmonary diseases. We
hypothesized that UTE-MRI has a potential to evaluate
radiological findings as well as TS-CT. The purpose of
this study was directly compare the capability of
UTE-MRI for evaluation of radiological findings with
TS-CT in patients with various pulmonary diseases.
