We used deformable registration between ¹H MRI at two lung volumes to create a Jacobian based ventilation map for quantification of ventilation heterogeneity. We compared values derived from the Jacobian ventilation map to the ventilation defect percent (VDP) from hyperpolarized Helium-3 MRI (HP ³He MRI) and to spirometry measures and found that the Jacobian minimum was associated with both VDP and FEV1/FVC %. These findings suggest that ventilation quantified using Jacobian maps of deformable registration on ¹H MRI is a potential alternative to HP MRI ventilation imaging.
