Tested lung imaging scans in stable COPD patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of seeing how well your lungs work: a special MRI scan and another scan that uses a different gas. It may help researchers find which imaging test best reflects lung function in people with COPD.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a COPD diagnosis and are stable on the day of the scan
- You currently or previously smoked, with at least 10 pack-years of smoking history
- You do NOT have asthma
- You are able to get the MRI safely (no unsafe metal/implants or other MRI limits)
- Your oxygen level on the day of imaging is 92% or higher (by finger pulse oximeter)
- You are not using continuous home oxygen and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding

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 trial uses an advanced MRI technique with a special gas (hyperpolarized xenon-129) to look at lung function in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It may help doctors better understand how the disease affects your lungs and could lead to improved care.
This study tests a special MRI scan that uses a “hyperpolarized” gas to look at how well the lungs are working. It’s likely looking for safe imaging results and clear lung measurements in people without lung disease.
This trial uses a special MRI scan with xenon gas to take detailed images of how blood moves through your lungs. It aims to see if this imaging can help doctors better understand and manage pulmonary hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the lungs.
This study uses a special MRI scan (Xenon gas imaging) to look at how well your lungs and heart are working. It is for people with certain lung conditions, those getting blood transfusions or phlebotomy, or healthy volunteers.
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.
