Simultaneous Evaluation of Lung Anatomy and Ventilation Using 4D Respiratory‐Motion‐Resolved Ultrashort Echo Time Sparse MRI

Computed tomography (CT) and spirometry are the current standard methods for assessing lung anatomy and pulmonary ventilation, respectively. However, CT provides limited ventilation information and spirometry only provides global measures of lung ventilation. Thus, a method that can enable simultaneous examination of lung anatomy and ventilation is of clinical interest.
