Exclusion criteria included inability to communicate in English, overlapping pulmonary diagnoses already represented, or declining consent. Respiratory-triggered T2-weighted BLADE and T1-weighted UTE sequences were acquired on a Siemens MAGNETOM Free.Max (0.55 T) scanner. Six radiologists independently graded overall image quality (1\u2009=\u2009poor, 2\u2009=\u2009fine, 3\u2009=\u2009excellent). Respiratory metrics were quantified, including tidal depth, respiratory rate, and respiration length. Body mass index (BMI) and body surface area were calculated. One-way analysis of variance was used to test the association between these factors and image quality. Interreader agreement was assessed using Fleiss kappa and the intraclass correlation coefficient.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty-eight participants (mean age, 59\u2009years \u00b1 19; 17 women) were evaluated. Fibrotic interstitial lung disease was linked to degraded image quality. Deeper tidal depth (P\u2009=\u2009.04), longer respiration length (P\u2009=\u2009.002), and higher BMI (P\u2009=\u20090.02) were significant predictors of degradation on univariate analysis.
