Evaluation of pulmonary perfusion and ventilation in suspected chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension via phase-resolved functional lung magnetic resonance imaging: correlations with hemodynamics and cardiopulmonary function

Quantitative parameters obtained from PREFUL MRI were correlated with hemodynamic status and cardiopulmonary function in patients with CTEPH or CTED. PREFUL MRI perfusion parameters demonstrated strong diagnostic performance for CTEPH, indicating their clinical potential.
