2-year old children after congenital diaphragmatic
hernia (CDH) repair show significantly reduced lung
perfusion values on the ipsilateral side in quantitative
MR imaging. A temporal resolution of 1.5 s with an
isotropic voxel size of 2 mm3 brings a gain of peak
contrast to noise ratio (PCNR) and leads to higher
perfusion values, when compared to a higher spatially
resolved protocol. Consequently, these image parameters
should be selected in routine follow-up programs.
