This study tested a new type of MRI that uses xenon gas instead of X-rays to take pictures of the lungs and brain. Healthy adults aged 18 to 75 inhaled the gas and had scans to see if the images were as good as standard MRI. The goal was to improve imaging methods, not to treat a…

This study tested new ways to take detailed pictures of the lungs using MRI with special inhaled gases. Healthy volunteers aged 6 to 75 had lung scans to help improve the imaging technology. The goal was to develop better hardware and software, not to treat any disease.

This study tested a new type of MRI (called hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI) to see if it could detect early signs of lung rejection in people who had a double lung transplant. Researchers wanted to find out if this scan could show lung function and structure changes without needing a b…
