Lung transplantation is a life-saving treatment to many
end-stage lung diseases, but chronic rejection remains
the major barrier to the long-term survival of lung
transplant recipients and is not well understood. In
this study, we used triple transgenic mice
(Scgb1a1/DT-A) as donors in a mouse model of orthotopic,
left-lung lung transplantation to induce chronic
rejection similar to that in human lung allografts.

H
MRI at 7T was performed with a 2-D short-TE GRE sequence
to quantitatively monitor the rejection and relate
individual outcomes with histological examination to
understand the timecourse of chronic rejection.
