Fig. 1A —63-year-old man with adenocarcinoma in upper lobe of left lung.
Routine transverse 5-mm and thin-section (2-mm) CT scans show low-attenuation
areas in both lungs. Tumor mass is evident.

Fig. 1E —63-year-old man with adenocarcinoma in upper lobe of left lung.
Dynamic perfusion MR images show heterogeneous but well-enhanced pulmonary
parenchyma at 5 and 13 seconds in portions of lungs not affected by lung
cancer (arrows). Lung cancer also is enhanced after 13 seconds.

Fig. 2A —Correlation between each version of predicted postoperative forced
expiratory volume in first second of expiration (FEV1), expressed
as percentage of predicted value, and actual postoperative FEV1.
Graph shows postoperative FEV1 predicted from perfusion MRI
correlates well (r =0.87, p < 0.0001) with actual
postoperative FEV1.

Fig. 2B —Correlation between each version of predicted postoperative forced
expiratory volume in first second of expiration (FEV1), expressed
as percentage of predicted value, and actual postoperative FEV1.
Graph shows postoperative FEV1 predicted from quantitative
assessment of CT scans correlates well (r =0.88, p <
0.0001) with actual postoperative FEV1.

Fig. 3A —The limits of agreement between actual postoperative forced
expiratory volume in first second of expiration (FEV1), expressed
as percentage of predicted value, and each version of predicted postoperative
FEV1. Graph shows the limits of agreement are 5.3% ± 11.8%
for perfusion MRI.
