This study is testing whether a special MRI that uses xenon gas (129Xe MRI) can better diagnose and track pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a serious lung condition. About 20 adults with PAH will get this MRI along with standard tests like blood work and a 6-minute walk. The…

This study tests whether an inhaled medication called Treprostinil (Tyvaso) can help people with COPD who have low blood oxygen levels. Ten adults aged 40 and older will use the Tyvaso nebulizer four times daily for four weeks. Researchers will use special MRI scans and breathing…

This study looks at how mucus plugs block airways in people with severe asthma. Using special xenon MRI scans, researchers will check lung function in blocked areas before and after starting biologic therapy. The goal is to understand how these plugs affect breathing and how trea…

This study tests whether a special type of MRI, using inhaled xenon gas, can show how well the drug sotatercept is working in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). PAH is a serious condition where blood vessels in the lungs narrow, making the heart work harder. The s…

This study is testing a new MRI technique that uses a special gas called 129Xe to take detailed pictures of how the lungs work. It includes both healthy volunteers and people with lung disease. The goal is to see if this method can safely and effectively show lung function, inclu…

This study uses a special MRI that tracks a harmless gas (129Xe) to see how well the lungs and heart exchange oxygen. Researchers will scan healthy people and those with lung disease, anemia, or blood clots to understand how these conditions affect breathing. The goal is to devel…

This study aims to find a noninvasive way to detect changes in lung blood vessels in people with a type of pulmonary hypertension (Group 3 PH) caused by lung diseases like COPD or interstitial lung disease. Researchers will use a special MRI technique (hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI) t…
