This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and image quality of standard 0.55 T lung MRI in unsedated pediatric patients.
Five pediatric patients aged 6 to 16, including specific lung conditions, and four premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia scanned using a 0.55 T MRI scanner.
Standard T2-weighted turbo spin echo sequence employed with specified imaging parameters to capture lung images.
Successful image acquisition in adolescents produced diagnostic-quality images with minimal motion artifacts.
Specific lung findings, including consolidation and air trapping, were clearly displayed and compared to CT scans.
In the bronchopulmonary dysplasia subgroup, high-quality images revealed characteristic lung changes, and imagery clarity correlated with respiratory outcomes.
