To pool and summarize published data from magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation measurements of the human lung at 1.5T to provide a reliable basis of T1 relaxation time constants of healthy lung tissue both under respiration of room air and of pure oxygen. In particular, the oxygen-induced shor...
