MRI to track lung disease changes in ILD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to monitor how lung scarring changes over time in people with certain types of interstitial lung disease (ILD), like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The goal is to see if MRI can be a helpful tool for tracking the disease without needing as many CT scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled for a routine high-resolution CT scan of your chest for a newly diagnosed or suspected case of ILD, such as IPF or hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
- You must be able to give informed consent and lie still for the MRI scan.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not have any contraindications to MRI, such as severe kidney problems or an allergy to MRI contrast dye (gadolinium).
- You must be 18 years or older.

This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose and classify lung conditions that affect both the air sacs and airways, such as COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. By participating, you may help advance medical knowledge and better understand your own condition.
This study looks at how common long-term lung conditions and their treatments may change heart function. It uses heart imaging (an MRI) to see what’s happening, which could help doctors better monitor heart risks in people with lung disease.
This study uses MRI scans to look at the lungs of people with early-stage IPF, a lung scarring disease. It aims to see how well MRI can show lung changes without using radiation.
This study tests whether advanced MRI scans can better detect and track lung scarring in people with certain types of pulmonary fibrosis. It may help doctors understand how well your treatment is working, without extra radiation from CT scans.
This trial uses an advanced MRI technique with a special gas (hyperpolarized xenon-129) to look at lung function in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It may help doctors better understand how the disease affects your lungs and could lead to improved care.
This study uses a special high-resolution CT scan to look at heart and lung problems in people with a type of lung disease that gets worse over time. It may help doctors understand how the heart is affected and guide better care.
