The method provides motion robust images of the lung and thorax. However, the lower sensitivity for small lung lesions is a major limitation for routine use of this technique. Currently, the method is adequate for diagnosing inflammatory lung diseases, atelectasis, effusions and lung scarring in children with irregular breathing patterns or bulk motion on sedation-free MRI. A medium-term goal is to improve the diagnostic accuracy of small nodules and interstitial lesions.
