Table 1. Parameters of T1-Weighted MR Sequences Used for Lung Imaging.

Parameter 3D Dixon 3D VIBE
Breath-hold position Expiration Inspiration/expiration
Orientation Coronal* Axial
TE (ms) 1.23/2.46 1.3
TR (ms) 3.6 3.4
TA (s) 19 17
Flip angle 10°
Acquired image resolution (mm3) 4.1 × 4.1 × 2.6* 1.2 × 0.9 × 6
Reconstructed voxel size (mm3) 2.6 × 2.6 × 2.6* 0.9 × 0.9 × 3
Bandwidth (Hz/pixel) 965 543

*Orientation and matrix size is fixed by default by vendor because sequence is used to create µ-map for attenuation correction. TA = time of acquisition, TE = echo time, TR = repetition time, VIBE = volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination, 3D = three-dimensional
