The ventilation to perfusion ratio (V/Q) is an important
physiological parameter in the lung. Recent advantages
in lung MRI have shown that both the ventilation and
perfusion can separately be quantified using
non-invasive and non-contrast enhanced methods. To
further assess the accuracy of these methods we
investigate the gravitational effect of the ventilation,
perfusion and the combined V/Q maps in eight healthy
volunteers.
