## Abstract Induction of apoptosis has been associated with a variety of exposures which result in inflammatory and fibrotic lung disorders. Macrophages are key regulatory cells in the lung; however, the role of apoptotic macrophages in those pulmonary disorders is not well characterized. In the pr
## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing lung inflammation longitudinally in genetic mouse models of cystic fibrosis (CF). MRI is used to view soft tissues noninvasively, but the lung is challenging to image. ## Materials and Methods __Cftr__^__+/+__^ (wil
## Abstract ## Purpose: To investigate the ability of proton (^1^H) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to distinguish between pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis. ## Materials and Methods: Three groups of SpragueβDawley rats (n = 5) were instilled intratracheally with bleomycin (2.5 U/kg or 3.5 U/
