Overview
MRI is not indicated in the diagnosis of alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency. There are no specific MRI findings associated with alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.
MRI
- MRI is not indicated in the diagnosis of alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency. There are no specific MRI findings associated with alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.[1]
- Standard MRI techniques receive poor signal as a result of low proton density of lung parenchyma.
- Findings on MRI of alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency suggest emphysematous changes with lower lobe predominance.
