Synopsis
Metronome-paced tachypnea (MPT) is a technique where a patient breathes with a fixed frequency (40 breaths / minute). MPT induces dynamic hyperinflation and allows investigation of potential stress-driven effects on ventilation parameters. Fourteen patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) underwent phase-resolved functional lung (PREFUL) MRI with 2D coronal lung MR images acquired during normal tidal breathing (NTB) and MPT. Compared to NTB, ventilation defect percentages increased in COPD patients during MPT. Thus, MPT in conjunction with PREFUL-MRI will be further investigated as a possible sensible ventilation test for COPD patients.
