Breakthrough scans aim to spot lung damage earlier

NCT ID NCT02740868

Summary

This study is testing two new types of MRI scans that use safe, inhaled gases instead of radiation to create detailed pictures of the lungs. Researchers want to see if these scans can detect changes in lung structure and function in people with cystic fibrosis or asthma more clearly than current standard tests. The goal is to develop a better tool for early diagnosis and monitoring of these lung diseases.
