## 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 oxygenโenhanced ventilation MR images and firstโpass contrastโenhanced perfusion MR images were obtained in 16 patients
Thirty-four hospital patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) had ventilation perfusion (VP) imaging after pulmonary angiography to assess the performance of highly specific criteria for diagnosis of PE and to evaluate the precision of image reporting. A diagnostic result was obtained from VP
