Breathing in a new way to see lungs: MRI with inhaled gas
NCT ID NCT07305532
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new MRI technique that uses an inhaled gas (perfluoropropane) to create detailed images of the lungs. Researchers will enroll 200 healthy adults aged 18 to 85 to improve the hardware and software needed for this imaging. The goal is to make lung scans clearer and safer without using radiation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- perfluoropropane gas
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a safer, radiation-free way to image lung function, helping diagnose lung diseases earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early development study in healthy volunteers, so it may not translate to patients. The technique is still being refined and may not improve current imaging methods.
