Studies

XeLHC

Radiology Pulmonology Lung Disease Adult Subjects

A subset of young adults participating in the American Lung Association (ALA) Lung Health Cohort (LHC) will be imaged using Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI to assess lung structure and function. Images will be used to improve the understanding of lung health and early lung abnormalities that may lead to chronic lung disease.

Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction MRI Study

Radiology Healthy Subjects Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

This studies purpose is to confirm the efficacy and efficiency of using OE-MRI and MRI with hyperpolarized gas techniques and Iodinated contrast CT scan, this will enhance understanding of CLAD pathophysiology. Moreover, this project is foundational to performing additional studies to establish if novel MRI imaging can serve as an objective confirmatory diagnostic tool for CLAD in post-transplant patients.
