Zusammenfassung

Die Perfusion der Lunge ist eine entscheidende Voraussetzung für einen effektiven Gasaustausch. Die Bestimmung der Lungenperfusion ist bei verschiedenen Erkrankungen der Lunge für Diagnostik und Therapieplanung bedeutsam. Hierzu zählen neben Erkrankungen der Lungengefäße wie akute Lungenembolie und pulmonale Hypertension ebenso Erkrankungen der Atemwege, des Lungengerüsts und Lungentumoren. In diesem Beitrag werden die Möglichkeiten und technischen Voraussetzungen der MRT zur Diagnostik der Lungenperfusion dargestellt.

Abstract

Lung perfusion is a crucial prerequisite for effective gas exchange. Quantification of pulmonary perfusion is important for diagnostic considerations and treatment planning in various diseases of the lungs. Besides disorders of pulmonary vessels such as acute pulmonary embolism and pulmonary hypertension, these also include diseases of the respiratory tract and lung tissue as well as pulmonary tumors. This contribution presents the possibilities and technical requirements of MRI for diagnostic work-up of pulmonary perfusion.
