Breathing MRI test to map lung airspaces in adults
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult age 18 or older
- You can hold your breath for up to 16 seconds during the scan
- You do not have a known heart defect
- You are not pregnant (or testing confirms you aren’t)
- You do not have uncontrolled asthma—no rescue inhaler 2+ times in the last month
- You do not have a recent breathing infection or worsening breathing symptoms (within the past week)

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.
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 study uses a special MRI gas (xenon-129) and scanner software to check how reliably images can be repeated. You may be able to help researchers improve MRI technology, as long as you can safely do the breathing and MRI scanning steps.
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 trial uses a special breathing MRI (you breathe a gas mixture) to measure how well your lungs work. It studies healthy kids and people with lung conditions like cystic fibrosis or asthma, and it may help researchers better understand lung function and flare-ups.
