| Summary, etc. | For a long time the lung has been regarded as the black hole in MRI. In the<br/>1980s courageous physicists and radiologists have tried to investigate<br/>different lung diseases using MRI, but they could neither produce convincing<br/>image quality within a reasonable examination time nor generate a substantial clinical impact. This has clearly changed in the last 15 years. Since then,<br/>however, the investigation of the potential application of MRI for the study of<br/>lung diseases is a challenging and exciting field of clinical research driven by<br/>the rapid development of new techniques and sequences for cardiac MRI as<br/>well as by the use of hyperpolarized noble gases as novel contrast agents.<br/>The specific ability of MRI to visualize simultaneously morphological<br/>changes and modifications in perfusion, ventilation and gas exchange has<br/>opened up totally new perspectives to lung imaging and subsequently entered<br/>the clinical arena. Thus, the great success of the first edition of MRI of the<br/>Lung and the rapid development since then clearly encouraged us to prepare<br/>an updated second edition. This book again eminently illustrates the mutation<br/>of radiology from pure morphology to combined morphological–functional<br/>imaging. The original chapters were kept, updated and extended in order to<br/>cover the basics, such as<br/>– the rationale and recommendation of a suggested standard protocol<br/>– non-contrast and contrast-enhanced pulmonary MR angiography<br/>– non-contrast and contrast-enhanced MR perfusion imaging<br/>– ventilation imaging using hyperpolarized gases (3He, 129Xe) as alternative<br/>nuclei, or fluorinated gases as well as oxygen for dynamic proton MRI<br/>Further, international world-renowned experts describe how MRI can be<br/>used in the clinical setting to diagnose, characterize and quantify different<br/>lung diseases such as pulmonary hypertension and thromboembolic disease,<br/>vascular anomalies and diseases, chronic obstructive airways disease (asthma,<br/>COPD, cystic fibrosis), lung cancer, mediastinal disease, pneumonia, diffuse<br/>parenchymal disease (fibrosis) and diseases of the pleura and the chest wall.<br/>To further reflect the current developments in MRI of the lung, three new<br/>chapters were added to the second edition. They highlight the novel role of<br/>pulmonary MRI in animal models of respiratory diseases and in clinical trials<br/>as well as the specific challenges when using 3 T systems and the integration<br/>of lung imaging into whole body MRI protocols, such as staging in oncological disease. |
| Expansion of summary note | We are very grateful to the contributing authors, all outstanding experts in<br/>their fields, for preparing this fine volume on a highly active topic for our<br/>series. The second edition again represents the leading handbook to provide a<br/>comprehensive overview of our current knowledge on the clinical role of<br/>MRI of the lung. In addition it outlines future perspectives for potential new<br/>applications of this imaging modality at the cutting edge of radiology.<br/>This volume is highly recommended to certified radiologists, particularly<br/>those with a special interest in chest imaging and/or MRI, and to radiologists<br/>in training. However, pneumologists, cardiologists and chest surgeons will<br/>also find it a very useful source of information for better diagnostic and therapeutic management of their patients. We have no doubt that this volume will<br/>again meet the appropriate interest and well-deserved success with our<br/>readership. |
