“…The plain chest radiograph, although useful in the assessment of acute asthma, mainly to exclude unsuspected pneumothorax, collapse or consolidation,1 2 is unable to demonstrate more subtle changes within the lungs of asthmatic patients. The ability of high resolution computed tomography (HRCT), with a theoretical resolution of 100 μm, to examine small structures within the chest is now being exploited in the investigation of asthma.…”

“…Although other studies [5,6] had reported rates of 9-34% in patients with severe asthma, it is difficult to compare their patients with ours as these studies were relatively old, done before the introduction of the GINA guidelines and might have included patients with COPD. CR abnormalities were relatively uncommon in the mild group (nine of 111 or 8.1%) and those with imminent respiratory failure (zero of three or 0%).…”

Lung imaging is traditionally done using X-ray-based methods, since MRI is limited by low proton density as well as inherent magnetic field inhomogeneities of the lung tissue. After introduction of MRI using hyperpolarized noble gases, a totally new field of MRI of the chest has rapidly evolved. These techniques reveal new functional information of the lungs, which could not be obtained before. The first part of this review describes the underlying MR technology explaining distribution of static ventilation, dynamic distribution of ventilation, lung microstructure (apparent diffusion coefficient [ADC]), measurement of oxygen partial pressure (pO(2)), and safety. The clinical potential is afterwards demonstrated in the second part. Therefore, the effort in normal lungs and the mainly focused diseases chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), smoker's lung, cystic fibrosis, asthma, lung transplantation, and pulmonary embolism are reported.
