Regional Lung Ventilation Analysis Using Temporally Resolved Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Conclusions: The proposed methods allow for 4D MR-based regional analysis of tissue dynamics and ventilation in spontaneous breathing and comparison of patient data. The proposed atlas-based reference coordinate system provides an automated manner of annotating and comparing multimodal lung image data.
