MR Imaging of Respiratory Stucture and Function


EMSL Project ID
16111

Abstract

MR imaging methods are being developed to visualize pulmonary mechanics, define airway architecture, and measure the flow velocity of inhaled gases in live rats. Results provide a basis for developing and validating computational models of the rodent's respiratory tract.
