Abstract: The inflammatory responses in chronic airway diseases leading to emphysema are not fully defined. We hypothesised that lung eosinophilia contributes to airspace enlargement in a mouse model and to emphysema in patients with chronic obstructive… read more here.

Abstract: Multi-b diffusion-weighted hyperpolarized gas MRI measures pulmonary airspace enlargement using apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) and mean linear intercepts (Lm). Rapid single-breath acquisitions may facilitate clinical translation, and, hence, we aimed to develop single-breath three-dimensional multi-b… read more here.
