Single-slice coronal oxygen-enhanced MRI were performed in 24 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and 12 healthy volunteers, from which color-coded V/Q maps were extracted by pixelwise model fitting. COPD lungs were then structurally classified into emphysematous and non-emphysematous subgroups according to percentage of low attenuation areas under -950 Hounsfield units in matched 2D CT images.
