Lung ventilation imaging using inhaled oxygen as a contrast medium was performed using both a 0.2 and a 1.5 T clinical magnetic resonance (MR) scanner in eight volunteers. Signal-to-noise-ratios (SNRs) of the ventilation images as well as T1 values of the lung acquired with inhalation of 100% oxygen
