The combination of radial acquisition with cardiac gating enables high resolution imaging in the rodents lung. We present the results of regional perfusion-weighted measurements based on short echo time radial acquisition. The observed intensity variations in the lung parenchyma were attributed to the changes in blood perfusion depending on the cardiac cycle.
