Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI can reliably quantify regional pulmonary microvascular perfusion, which correlates with established measures of global lung perfusion and diffusing capacity.
Supports DCE-MRI for regional pulmonary perfusion assessment; leaves open validation and outcome impact before clinical adoption.
Regional pulmonary microvascular perfusion can reliably be quantified from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. Magnetic resonance imaging-derived quantitative and semiquantitative perfusion measures correlate with GLP and DLCO.
