Abstract
Pulse sequences based on FID signals and projection reconstruction (PR) were investigated for lung MRI at 0.5 T and evaluated for artifacts caused by: (1) k‐space mismapping due to either delay or distortion of the readout gradient waveform, (2) cardiac motion and pulsatile flow, and (3) respiratory motion. Nonstructured artifacts were described, simulated, and experimentally confirmed for the first time. Nonstructured artifacts did not impair the demonstration of structures of high signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) but generated quantitative errors in the image intensity analysis over the lung parenchyma. The use of FID‐based PR techniques for lung MRI is not justified at 0.5 T.Keywords
