Who Can Participate?
Eligibility
Adult patients with lung disease and healthy volunteers
What is Involved?
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
