MRI to detect lung rejection after transplant
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI scan (called hyperpolarized gas MRI) to check for signs of lung rejection after a transplant. The goal is to see if the MRI can help detect rejection earlier and more safely than standard bronchoscopy alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a lung transplant at the University of Virginia within the last 12 months.
- You are not currently using oxygen at home.
- You can hold your breath for about 10 seconds during the MRI scan.
- You do not have any metal implants or devices that are not safe for MRI.
- You have not had a recent lung infection or other serious health problems.

This study looks at using a special lab test (microarrays) on tissue taken during a lung transplant biopsy. It aims to learn how the test may help doctors better diagnose and guide care after transplant.
This study follows people with serious lung disease before and after lung transplant to understand how rejection happens and what warning signs to watch for. By studying your blood, tissue samples, and imaging, researchers hope to better predict and prevent transplant rejection.
This study uses MRI scans to look at how well your lungs are working after a double lung transplant. It aims to understand chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), a condition that can affect transplant patients over time.
This study checks whether a painless lung ultrasound can help tell when rejection is unlikely after a lung transplant. If it works, it could reduce the need for other tests in people who feel well.
This trial uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to see how well a transplanted kidney is working and how it affects your body's metabolism. It aims to find a noninvasive way to monitor kidney health without needing a biopsy.
This study tests whether a heart MRI can detect early signs of organ rejection after a heart transplant. If successful, it could reduce the need for frequent biopsies.
