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 study is developing a new type of MRI scan that uses xenon gas to take pictures of the lungs. It may help doctors see how well your lungs are working without any radiation.
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 study uses MRI scans to look at the lungs in people who have had a stem cell transplant (HSCT). It will help doctors understand and detect early lung problems, so they can act sooner.
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 study uses a special gas called xenon to take pictures of your lungs with MRI, a safe imaging method. It aims to improve lung imaging for future patients, and you may participate if you are generally healthy.
