Detection of lung lesions in breath-hold VIBE and free-breathing Spiral VIBE MRI compared to CT

Abstract Background Detection of pulmonary nodules in MRI requires fast imaging strategies without respiratory motion impairment, such as single-breath-hold Cartesian VIBE. As patients with pulmonary diseases have limited breath-hold capacities, this study investigates the clinical feasibility of no...
