Abstract
An inversion recovery true fast imaging with steady precession (FISP) pulse sequence was developed to carry out fast imaging of the lungs at 0.2 T. Using this sequence, oxygen‐enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) lung imaging was performed on healthy volunteers. The lungs showed signal enhancement (11.7% ± 3.8%) when breathing 100% oxygen. Using inversion recovery, true FISP at low field may prove promising for MR lung imaging. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2001;14:164–168. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
