Lung function MRI using a special gas in volunteers
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are either a healthy person with no diagnosed lung condition, or you have a diagnosed lung problem
- Your lung symptoms have not acutely worsened in the last 30 days (for people with lung disease)
- You can read and understand English or Spanish
- You can safely have an MRI (no MRI safety issues on the screening questionnaire)
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding
- You must be able to fit the special 129Xe MRI breathing setup and hold your breath 15–16 seconds

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 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.
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 repeatedly takes special MRI pictures of the lungs using helium-3 and xenon-129 gas to track how lung function changes over time. It may help researchers better understand lung disease in people who have COPD or bronchiectasis, or a long smoking history.
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 enrolls people already in the American Lung Association Lung Health Cohort for a lung scan called Xe-MRI. It aims to measure lung health using a specialized MRI method, which may help doctors understand breathing changes over time.
