Purpose of this Study
If you agree to be in the study, you will have 1 study visit that will last about 4 hours.
The visit will include asking questions about your medical history, vital signs, pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and an MRI (magnetic resonance image) of the chest with inhaled Xenon gas.
Someone from the study team will contact you about 24 hours after your study visit.

What is Involved?
Description
We are doing this study to learn whether magnetic resonance images of the lung using inhaled xenon gas (Xe MRIs) can show any difference between healthy people, those at risk of developing lung disease, and those with lung disease. We also want to test better ways to do MRI scans and improve their quality
