Contemporary 0.55 T MRI to visualize interstitial lung disease – An exploratory study
Contemporary 0.55 T MRI showed no statistically significant difference in overall ILD extent compared to HRCT but tended to overestimate GGO and underestimate reticulation. Despite these limitations, 0.55 T MRI represents a promising candidate for future development as a radiation-free alternative for gross disease burden assessment in ILD, warranting further technical refinement before routine clinical use.
