The present study was designed to determine the value of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging as a technique for quantifying lung water distribution and to estimate the degree of spatial resolution achieved by this technique. The spatial distribution of water was determined in six small (0.76 ml) rat lung tissue specimens by an NMR line-scan technique. After NMR imaging, each lung specimen was frozen and subdivided into slices; the gravimetric lung water content for each lung slice was compared with the integrated NMR water content over the volume corresponding to the same lung slice. In each tissue specimen, NMR and gravimetric lung water values were significantly correlated; the correlation coefficient for the pooled data for all six lung specimens was 0.91 (P less than 0.01). In two lung specimens, NMR values tended to be slightly higher than the gravimetric values. The magnitude of the difference between NMR and gravimetric values was generally less than 20% and only occasionally exceeded 25%. Our results suggest that the NMR-imaging method provides satisfactory estimates of lung water content and its distribution; the resolving power of the technique is excellent, as shown by its ability to detect water content differences between lung tissue slices of volume as small as 0.076 ml.
