Summary

This study tests whether a special type of MRI (using xenon gas) can measure how well anti-fibrotic medications work in people with progressive lung scarring. About 60 adults with certain types of interstitial lung disease will have MRI scans 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 or more precisely than standard tests.
