Quantitative regional oxygen transfer imaging of the human lung

To demonstrate that the use of nonquantitative methods in oxygen‐enhanced (OE) lung imaging can be problematic and to present a new approach for quantitative OE lung imaging, which fulfills the requirements for easy application in clinical practice.
