В клинической практике уже давно есть потребность в применении методики магнитно-резонансной томографии (МРТ) для визуализации легких. Стимулом к развитию данного метода является появление альтернативы рентгеновской компьютерной томографии, особенно когда облучение и введение йодсодержащих контрастных препаратов противопоказано или нежелательно, например у беременных женщин и детей, людей с непереносимостью йодистых препаратов. Одной их причин, по которой МРТ легких все еще редко используется, является отсутствие разработанных стандартизированных протоколов, которые были бы адаптированы к клиническим запросам медицинского персонала. Данная публикация представляет собой обзор современной литературы по методике использования МРТ при исследованиях легких.

For a long time, there was a need to apply magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique for lung visualization in clinical practice. The development of this method is stimulated by necessity of the emergence of an alternative to computed tomography, especially when radiation and injection of iodine-containing contrast agents are contraindicated or undesirable, for example, in pregnant women and children, people with intolerance to iodinated contrast. One of the reasons why lung MRI is still rarely used is lack of elaborated standardized protocols that would be adapted to clinical needs of medical society. This publication is a current literature review on the use of MRI in lung studies.
