Summary. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of a magnetic resonance imaging protocol for the lung using a volumetric interpolated 3D-gradient echo sequence (3D-GRE). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A T1-weighted 3D-GRE sequence was used for volumetric interpolated breath-hold examinations (“VIBE”) of the lung in twelve healthy volunteers (TR/TE 4.5/1.9 ms, flip-angle 12°, matrix 502 × 512 [interpolated]). Three coronal 80 mm slabs (16 partitions, 2.5 mm slices) were added to 3D data sets for multi-planar reformations. No contrast material was applied. Artifacts and resolution of vessel and airway structures in each lu…
