Dynamic O2-enhanced MRI is suggested as useful for
separate assessments of regional ventilation and oxygen
transfer in smokers. However, there are no reports about
capability of assessment of dynamic O2-enhanced MRI for
pulmonary functional loss assessment and clinical stage
classification in asthmatics. We hypothesized that
dynamic O2-enhanced MRI has potential for functional
loss assessment and clinical stage classification in
asthmatics as well as quantitatively assessed
thin-section CT. The purpose of the study reported here
was to prospectively and directly compare the efficacy
of dynamic O2-enhanced MRI and quantitative CT for
functional loss assessment and clinical stage
classification in asthmatics.
