Clinical MR lung imaging is being increasingly done to
avoid ionizing radiation especially in longitudinal
studies. In this work, we optimize a 3D stack of stars
acquisition to perform high SNR complete lung imaging in
a single breath-hold. Ten consecutive volunteers were
scanned on a 3T scanner for axial and coronal
breath-hold images. The images were analyzed for SNR in
lung parenchyma. Results indicate the suitability of the
technique for robust lung imaging in a clinical setting.
