Functional patterns of healthy human respiratory dynamics by 3D MR spirometry
Question Nominal ventilatory patterns in free breathing need to be characterised for regional pathophysiology. Findings Functional ventilatory maps showed significant inhomogeneity, but key patterns, primarily governed by gravity, were consistent across subjects. 3D MR spirometry demonstrated reliability despite physiological variability. Clinical relevance 3D MR spirometry is a reliable technique for absolute quantification of the regional ventilation and its dynamic. Nominal spatial patterns of the ventilation should be considered for assessing regional pathophysiology in free breathing.
