## Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of comprehensive magnetic resonance (MR) assessment of pulmonary perfusion and ventilation in patients. Both oxygenβenhanced ventilation MR images and firstβpass contrastβenhanced perfusion MR images were obtained in 16 patients

In this study the performance of FLASH imaging with selective inversion preparation for functional perfusion studies was investigated. In addition to the absolute quantification of perfusion by measurement of the longitudinal relaxation times with global (T(1glob)) and selective (T(1sel)) inversion,
An ultrafast MR sequence was used to measure changes in signal intensity during the first pass of intravascular contrast through the pulmonary circulation. From this, mean transit time, relative blood volume, and relative blood flow were calculated. Data were collected in an isogravitational plane i
