NCT ID NCT04991454
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study aimed to see if a special type of MRI, using xenon gas, could detect changes in the lungs of people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). Researchers looked at how these MRI signals relate to disease severity and progression. The study involved 12 adults awaiting lung transplants, but was ended early. It was designed to gather knowledge, not to test a treatment.
