Motivation
Lung and especially lung parenchyma is difficult to image with MRI
Low proton density, susceptibility, T2, T
2*, cardiac and
respiratory motion all contribute At higher fields intrinsic (air to tissue and pathology)
and extrinsic (contrast injection) suseptibility effects become stronger
With T2
* sensitive sequences these cause signal dropout and phase effects due to the local field changes

SWIFT Sequence
SWeep Imaging with Fourier Transform Acquisition occurs in the gaps of a frequency swept (usually
HSn) pulse Excitation and Acquisition nearly simultaneous
“dead time” ~2 µs No time for slice selection or phase encoding, is most naturally a
readout only, interleaved preparations are possible Aquired data are FIDs (after correlation with the RF pulse
shape) Operates in 2d projection mode or 3d image mode with radial
FID sampling scheme and gridding reconstruction Most similar to BLAST, RUFIS, etc. in concept

Discussion
Preserves signal Lung Parenchyma and signal next to susceptibility boudaries (bronchii to parenchyma, vessels to parenchyma, tumor margin to parenchyma, etc...)
Avoidance of gradient ramp sampling required for UTE sequences
Avoidance of acuostic noise and eddy currents Low peak RF power compared to BLAST or RUFIS
(radial FID aquisition sequences), T1 weighting
obtainableScalable to Human Imaging

Future Work
Histological and Pathological verificationnormal tissue, tumors, inflammation
Scalable to human imaging (no peak power or gradient performance limitations)
