Although clinically significant lung nodules are demonstrable, smaller nodules may be detected using ultrashort/zero echo-time (TE) lung MRI. Fast reconstruction ultrashort TE sequences have also been used to achieve high-resolution lung MRI even with free-breathing. The introduction and improvement of...
