Synopsis

Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are a heterogeneous group of conditions exhibiting inflammation and scarring of the lung parenchyma. Here, we compare imaging biomarkers from hyperpolarised 129Xe ventilation MRI and oxygen-enhanced MRI (OE-MRI) with standard pulmonary function tests in cohorts of ILD patients with mixed origins. We also evaluated whether disease resolution or progression could be detected over two visits. None of the imaging biomarkers considered completely differentiated ILD subtypes. OE-MRI biomarkers are feasible in ILD patients and do not correlate strongly with PFT. Both OE-MRI and 129Xe MRI revealed spatially heterogeneous ventilation in patients with DI-ILD and IPF.
