Pulmonary MRI is challenging due to many factors, such as short T2* relaxation time and respiratory motion corruption. However, the large susceptibility differences in the lungs from blood oxygenation and O2 content might provide more information related to pulmonary function. In this work, we combined ultra-short TE(UTE) acquisition, quantitative susceptibility mapping(QSM), and motion-resolved reconstruction techniques together to look at the susceptibility contrast in the lung and changes in different motion states. According to the results, this technique provides extra contrast information compared to traditional intensity images, and shows susceptibility changing of lung in different respiration states.
