New MRI technique reveals hidden lung problems in young people
NCT ID NCT05766384
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses a special type of MRI called hyperpolarized xenon MRI to take detailed pictures of the lungs in 260 healthy young adults. The goal is to find early signs of lung damage that could lead to chronic lung disease later in life. Participants are already part of a larger lung health study and will have one additional imaging session.
