Testing MRI scans to help diagnose childhood lung disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether MRI (a safe imaging scan) can help doctors diagnose a specific type of lung disease in children. Your child would have an MRI scan to see if it gives doctors useful information before they do a procedure called a bronchoscopy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 5 and 17 years old
- Your child has signs of a lung condition that doctors think needs further testing with a bronchoscopy
- Your child can follow instructions during the MRI scan
- Your family speaks English so you can understand the study information and give informed consent
- Your child has no medical implants or conditions that would make MRI scanning unsafe (like certain metal implants or pacemakers)

This study looks at the bacteria in the airways of children with Protracted Bacterial Bronchitis (PBB), a long-lasting cough caused by bacteria. It aims to understand how these bacteria affect the condition, which could lead to better treatments.
This study collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
This study uses MRI (a special scan) to look at babies with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a long-term breathing condition that can happen after being in the NICU. It aims to learn more about what’s happening in the lungs and how MRI can be used safely in these babies.
This study uses an MRI scan to look at how the lungs develop in babies born very early (before 29 weeks of pregnancy). The goal is to see if early MRI images can help predict future breathing problems, so doctors can better support these infants.
This study uses an MRI (a safe, radiation-free scan) to look at the airways in the lungs of children and teens with cystic fibrosis. It aims to see if MRI can detect changes in airway structure over time.
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.
