Abstract

Tomographic imaging via MRI can capture structural abnormalities at high resolution and reveal functional abnormalities if acquired during respiration. In infants and children with chronic lung diseases, MRI can serve as a safe and effective tool to characterize cardiorespiratory disease where PFTs are not feasible. Functional lung imaging via hyperpolarized Xe MRI has been shown to have very high sensitivity to regional airway obstruction, changes in alveolar-airspace size/structure, and gas-exchange due to abnormalities in the interstitium or blood-flow; the technique is routinely used in ages 5 and up. This summary outlines each of the functional measures currently available using Xe MRI.

肺部核磁共振成像：未来就在眼前

通过核磁共振成像（MRI）进行断层扫描成像，可以高分辨率捕捉结构异常，如果在呼吸过程中获得，还能显示功能异常。对于患有慢性肺部疾病的婴幼儿，核磁共振成像可作为一种安全有效的工具，在无法进行 PFT 检查的情况下确定心肺疾病的特征。通过超极化氙磁共振成像进行的肺功能成像已被证明对区域性气道阻塞、肺泡空间大小/结构变化以及间质或血流异常导致的气体交换具有极高的灵敏度；该技术已被常规用于 5 岁及以上儿童。本摘要概述了目前可使用氙磁共振成像技术进行的各项功能测量。

期刊介绍： Pediatric Pulmonology (PPUL) is the foremost global journal studying the respiratory system in disease and in health as it develops from intrauterine life though adolescence to adulthood. Combining explicit and informative analysis of clinical as well as basic scientific research, PPUL provides a look at the many facets of respiratory system disorders in infants and children, ranging from pathological anatomy, developmental issues, and pathophysiology to infectious disease, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and airborne toxins. Focused attention is given to the reporting of diagnostic and therapeutic methods for neonates, preschool children, and adolescents, the enduring effects of childhood respiratory diseases, and newly described infectious diseases. PPUL concentrates on subject matters of crucial interest to specialists preparing for the Pediatric Subspecialty Examinations in the United States and other countries. With its attentive coverage and extensive clinical data, this journal is a principle source for pediatricians in practice and in training and a must have for all pediatric pulmonologists.
