Xenon MRI in ILD (Lung Disease & Healthy Volunteers) - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study to learn how to get the best quality images of lungs in an MRI scanner as people breathe in Xenon gas. We hope this imaging will show key differences between diseased and healthy lungs.
