Summary

This study aims to develop better MRI methods for imaging the lungs by having healthy volunteers inhale a harmless gas called perfluoropropane. Researchers will test new scanning sequences and software to produce clearer, more detailed lung pictures. The goal is to improve how we see lung structure and function, which could help diagnose lung diseases in the future. Participants must be 18 to 85 years old and able to hold their breath for 16 seconds.
