Exploring the Utility of Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI in Healthy Volunteers and Patients With Lung Disease

Single-centre Study Exploring the Utility of Hyperpolarized 129Xe Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Healthy Volunteers and Patients With Lung Disease


Sponsor

McMaster University

Enrollment

60 participants

Start Date

Apr 19, 2018

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This is a single centre exploratory study that aims to apply hyperpolarized xenon-129 (129Xe) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods and measurements in individual patients with and without lung disease to better understand lung structure and function and evaluate response to therapy delivered as a part of clinical care.

Interventions

OTHERHyperpolarized 129Xe MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using inhaled hyperpolarized 129Xe gas is a research approach for the non-invasive visualization and measurement of lung structure and function.
