Diagnostic Utility of 3T Lung MRI in Children with Interstitial Lung Disease

In comparison to HRCT, 3T lung MRI with routinely available MRI protocols and sequences can also well detect abnormalities such as consolidation, parenchymal bands, and fissural thickening in children with ILD. However, evaluation of septal thickening, ground-glass opacity, nodules, and cysts is limited with 3T lung MRI.
