# Rapid Lung MRI at 3T in ILD Patients: A Feasibility Study

## TL;DR

This study evaluates the feasibility of using a conventional FLASH MRI technique at 3T for detecting interstitial lung disease (ILD), aiming to provide a simpler alternative to CT by improving signal-to-noise ratio through averaging.

## Contribution

It introduces a straightforward MRI approach at 3T for ILD detection, combining functional and morphological data, and compares it with standard CT imaging.

## Key findings

- MRI with simple averaging improves SNR for ILD detection
- The method provides comparable diagnostic information to CT
- Feasibility of rapid lung MRI at 3T demonstrated

## Abstract

This study aimed to assess the diagnostic utility of a conventional FLASH technique at 3T MRI in the detection of ILD patients in combination with functional and morphological information by a rather simple but straightforward approach for SNR improvement by simple averaging and to compare it with the current imaging gold standard, CT.
