摘要：
A method of processing magnetic resonance (MR) lung images creates a quantitative ventilation map of the lung, which is calculated from ventilation images. A step of determining ventilation frequency includes a frequency analysis of a time series of a quantitative lung dimension parameter which is characteristic for the dimension of the lung at the time of collecting the corresponding MR lung image. Creation of the quantitative ventilation map includes selecting a first group of ventilation images, which consists of expiration ventilation images collected at regular expiration phases of multiple ventilation periods, and a second group of ventilation images, which consists of inspiration ventilation images collected at regular inspiration phases of the multiple ventilation periods, and calculating the quantitative ventilation map from the first and second groups of ventilation images, wherein the quantitative ventilation map is adjusted with reference to the tidal volume of the lung.
