## Abstract Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancerβrelated mortality in the United States. Surgical resection remains the standard treatment for early stage, nonβsmall cell lung cancer, and limited pulmonary metastases. However, many patients with resectable disease have significant coβmorb

## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the hypothesis that the outer boundary of the hyperintense region observed in hyperacute (several minutes postβablation) T2 and gadolinium contrastβenhanced (CE) T1βweighted magnetic resonance (MR) lesion images is an accurate predictor of eventual cell death
NMR lineshapes were calculated for a model of lung, and NMR proton spectra were measured for individual voxels in an excised inflated rat lung. NMR lines for parenchymal lung regions containing alveoli, alveolar ducts, and capillaries were calculated using a computer simulation of the NMR signal fro
