Xenon MRI to guide radiation for lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with lung cancer by a cancer doctor and will receive a type of radiation called stereotactic body radiation therapy.
- You can lie still in an MRI scanner and hold your breath for 15 seconds.
- You do not have a pacemaker or metal implants that make MRI unsafe.
- You have not had radiation therapy to the lungs before.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a recent serious infection.

This study tests a new way to plan radiation therapy for lung cancer using a special MRI scan with a harmless gas (xenon) to see which parts of your lungs work best. The goal is to target radiation away from healthy lung tissue, which may reduce side effects, especially for people who have had radiation before or have lung conditions like COPD.
This study uses a special gas called xenon to take pictures of your lungs with MRI, a safe imaging method. It aims to improve lung imaging for future patients, and you may participate if you are generally healthy.
This trial uses a special MRI scan with xenon gas to look at how well your lungs work, specifically for people with interstitial lung disease or systemic sclerosis who may have high blood pressure in the lungs. The scan is painless and does not use radiation, and it may help doctors better understand your condition.
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 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.
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.
