Diagnostic Significance of Phase-Resolved Functional Lung Low-field Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Comparison to Photon-Counting CT and Pulmonary Function Tests in Connective Tissue Disease-associated Interstitial Lung Diseases
The feasibility of PREFUL using low-field MRI was demonstrated in patients with CTD-ILD. Several correlations between PREFUL and PFT parameters were found, indicating that MRI can quantify lung function impairment. Nevertheless, CT remains the gold standard for CTD-ILD assessment and further research in PREFUL is needed.
