Title | A computer model of magnetic resonance image distortion in lung tissue |
Date | 1987-12 |
Year graduated | 1987 |
Description | In this project, a method has been developed to determine the effect of field distortions due to the alveolar air-tissue interface on magnetic resonance images obtained from the lungs. According to our results, this effect is rather pronounced and can cause errors in interpretation of the water density near alveoli. |
