MRI as a Means to Measure Lung Function: Non-Invasive Imaging in Neonates and Young Children
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Hyperpolarized Helium-3 MRI of the chest for Healthy and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 45 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to develop rapid MRI techniques for imaging the lung with hyperpolarized helium-3 gas as an inhaled contrast agent. These techniques will be piloted in adults and older children before testing them in younger children and infants. The purpose is to enable imaging of non-sedated infants by imaging so fast as to freeze motion.
