Summary

This study at Duke University is testing whether a special type of MRI (using xenon gas) can show how well antifibrotic medicines are working in people with progressive lung scarring. About 60 adults with interstitial lung disease will get this MRI before starting treatment and again at 3, 6, and 12 months. The goal is to see if the MRI can detect changes in lung function earlier than standard tests.
