New imaging techniques reveal real-time lung function improvements, offering a breakthrough in diagnosing and treating ...

A new method of scanning lungs is able to show the effects of treatment on lung function in real time and enable experts to ...

Scientists at the University of Sheffield have developed a novel type of MRI scan that produces unique images of the lungs. The safe scan uses inhaled hyperpolarised xenon gas to pick up on lung ...

Our research focus is the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to pulmonary diseases, with an overarching aim of developing novel imaging biomarkers that can be used to better ...

The editor’s pick for this issue is a review article discussing the promise of hyperpolarised xenon MRI, a non-invasive ...

The technique creates images of structures inside the body that are five times more detailed than other methods using MRI, and can also be carried out more quickly. The new study, published in the ...

Scans of the lungs normally require patients to hold their breath to minimise the movement of their tumours. This has limited the use of MRI in patients with lung problems, given that scans can often ...

A study from the University of Iowa suggests that impaired pulmonary gas exchange is associated with cognitive dysfunction in ...
