Free-breathing UTE Spiral VIBE indicates higher sensitivity for detection of pulmonary nodules than breath-hold Cartesian VIBE and is a promising but time-consuming approach. However, sensitivity and specificity of inspiratory CT remain superior in comparison and should be preferred for detection of pulmonary lesions.
