Purpose: To assess the influence of magnetic field strength and additionally of acquisition and reconstruction parameters on the quality of high-resolution lung MRI, using a prototype Ultrashort-TE (UTE) sequence.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study received ethical approval and all participants provided written informed consent. From January to February 2018, images were obtained in 10 healthy volunteers at 1.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was first to evaluate the imaging-related cumulative post-transplantation radiation dose in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung transplantation (LT) recipients and second, to identify the occurrence and type of malignancies observed after LT.
Materials And Methods: A total of 52 patients with CF who underwent LT at our institution between January 2001 and December 2006 with at least 3 years of survival were retrospectively included. There were 27 men and 25 women with a mean age of 24.
