## Abstract ## Purpose To determine whether the injection rate of contrast agent affects the dynamics of enhancement of the pulmonary parenchyma on magnetic resonance (MR) pulmonary perfusion imaging. ## Materials and Methods Fifteen healthy volunteers underwent enhanced MR pulmonary perfusion i
The effect of irreproducible bulk tissue motions upon quantification of tissue perfusion and diffusion was studied via computer simulation of random phase error in conventional phase-encoded perfusion/diffusion MRI. Simulations using acquisition parameters typical for human brain studies demonstrate
