Hyperpolarized gas MRI scan for lung imaging in people 6+
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a special MRI scan that uses an inhaled, tracer gas to create clearer pictures of how your lungs work. It may help doctors see lung function more precisely in children and adults who can safely complete the scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 6 or older
- You can hold your breath for up to 16 seconds during the scan
- You are not pregnant (or have a negative pregnancy test if applicable)
- You do not have a heart defect history
- Your asthma is not uncontrolled (you haven’t needed a rescue inhaler 2+ times in the last month)
- You don’t currently have a breathing infection or recent chest/sinus symptoms in the last week

This early trial uses a special “breathing” MRI scan to create a detailed picture of how air moves in the lungs. It’s mainly a calibration study to set up the scan correctly, and you may help improve the test for future use.
This trial uses a special MRI breathing scan (with a safe, trace gas) to look at how babies’ lungs are developing. It may help doctors understand lung function and recovery in NICU infants.
This Phase 2 study uses a special type of MRI with inhaled gas to measure how well your lungs work. It may help researchers better understand lung function in healthy people and in people with lung disease.
This Phase 1 study tests a lung scan that uses a special gas and MRI to measure how well your lungs work. It includes healthy volunteers and people with lung disease to see how well the scan works and how safe it is.
This study tests whether a special MRI scan using xenon gas can be done safely and provide useful information in people with chronic lung conditions. You may be able to take part if your breathing tests and oxygen levels are adequate and you can complete the MRI safely.
This research study uses a special type of MRI scan with xenon gas to take detailed pictures of your lungs and how they work. The goal is to develop better ways to evaluate lung function and potentially help diagnose or monitor lung diseases.
