Mid-field (0.55T) Lung MRI
Our mid-field (0.55T) lung MRI program is located at UCSF Radiology at China Basin. A typical examination takes approximately 30-60 minutes and may be performed with or without intravenous contrast, depending on the clinical indication. Patients and referring providers interested in 0.55T lung MRI can contact the UCSF Department of Radiology for additional information. If we begin recruiting patients for future prospective research studies, information will be posted here and through UCSF.
Results from this program:
