Structural pulmonary imaging with MRI has many potential applications including lung nodule detection and interstitial lung disease assessments, but is limited by the challenges of short T2*, low proton density, and respiratory and cardiac motion. We propose a combination of an optimized 3D UTE acquisition with advanced reconstruction methods, including motion correction, parallel imaging, and compressed sensing, aiming to make MRI become a clinical option for pulmonary imaging.
