Leveraging Phase Information of 3D Isotropic Ultrashort Echo Time Pulmonary MRI for the Detection of Thoracic Lymphadenopathy
Pathological lymph nodes in the mediastinal and hilar region can be detected in phase-images with high diagnostic confidence, thanks to the ability of the phase images to depict water-fat contrast in combination with high spatial 3D resolution, extending the clinical applicability of UTE into the simultaneous assessment of lung parenchyma and lymph nodes.
