Summary
This study used a special type of MRI (xenon-129) to take detailed pictures of lung function in people with COPD who were scheduled to receive endobronchial valve therapy as part of their regular care. The goal was to see how the valves changed lung function over time. The study was stopped early, but it aimed to help doctors better understand how this treatment works.
