3D lung breathing test during MRI versus standard spirometry
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares a new 3D MRI-based breathing test with the usual breathing test called spirometry. It may help doctors measure lung function more precisely in healthy people and in people with asthma, COPD, or after a double lung transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can understand the study and sign written consent
- You must lie very still in an MRI scanner for the full scan time
- If you’re a healthy volunteer: you’re 18–45, have no lung disease, and don’t smoke
- If you have asthma: you’re 18–80, were diagnosed at least 6 months ago, and don’t smoke or vape
- If you have COPD: you’re 40–80 with moderate to severe COPD based on breathing test results, and you don’t smoke or vape

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study uses MRI pictures to learn how asthma affects breathing and lung function. If you have asthma and can do breathing tests, you may be asked to take part to help researchers understand asthma better.
This trial tests how well different breathing tests measure relief from shortness of breath in people with asthma or COPD. It may help doctors find better ways to check how well treatments are working.
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.
This study uses advanced MRI imaging and breathing tests to understand how healthy lungs work. Researchers are developing new ways to measure lung function that might help doctors diagnose lung disease earlier in the future.
