Synopsis

Keywords: New Trajectories & Spatial Encoding Methods, Lung, FunctionLung MRI is a steadily evolving field of research, especially concerning the evaluation of chronic lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis or COPD. The major limitation of lung MRI is the ultrashort T2* relaxation time of lung parenchyma, which demands ultrashort echo time sequences. Sufficient SNR values in the parenchyma are crucial for clinical evaluations and the assessment of physiological parameters. This abstract presents an adapted rosette trajectory for UTE imaging, yielding higher SNR per unit time in comparison to radial UTE sampling approaches.
