Synopsis
UTE lung MRI approaches the diagnostic quality of CT, opening up the possibility for longitudinal follow-up of interstitial lung disease (ILD) progression. Two quantitative biomarkers of UTE lung signal were developed for monitoring longitudinal change in ILD and benchmarked against quantitative CT CALIPER measurements. Normalized UTE lung signal and UTE high percentage (based on 95% cutoff of healthy UTE lung values) was significantly different between nine healthy volunteers and sixteen ILD patients. Longitudinal change in UTE biomarkers correlated with change in CT CALIPER ILD% in the ILD patients, and most-strongly correlated to CT ground-glass changes in the lung parenchyma.
