No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In the recent years a novel method for functional lung imaging called Fourier decomposition MRI (FD MRI) has been introduced that allows for simultaneous assessment of regional lung perfusion and ventilation-related information without exposure to ionizing radiation or administration of intravenous or inhalational contrast agent. In this project, the investigators plan to investigate whether Fourier decomposition (FD) MRI is able to provide similar clinical information on regional lung perfusion as the standard methods SPECT/CT and DCE MRI in patients with COPD.
