Lung MRI scan to study radiation treatment effects
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI scan with xenon gas to see how radiation therapy affects your lungs. It may help doctors better understand treatment response and side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You must have been diagnosed with lung cancer (biopsy proven).
- You are scheduled to receive radiation therapy (photon or proton) as part of your treatment.
- You must be able to hold your breath for 10–12 seconds.
- You can have an MRI (no severe claustrophobia, no metal implants, etc.).
- You will receive your follow-up care at MD Anderson Cancer Center.

This study uses a special MRI test with xenon gas to look at lung function in adults who had a stem cell transplant and now have breathing-related complications. It may help doctors measure lung impairment more clearly and track changes over time.
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.
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 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 tests a new way to plan radiation therapy for lung cancer using a special MRI that shows how well different parts of your lungs work. The goal is to avoid damaging healthy lung areas, which might help people with prior lung cancer or other breathing problems like COPD.
This trial tests whether a special MRI that uses xenon gas can help doctors better plan radiation therapy for lung cancer. You may join if you are scheduled for stereotactic body radiation therapy for your lung cancer.
