Study Overview

Brief Summary

In this study, xenon MRI will be used to evaluate regional functional consequences of mucus plugs in the lungs of patients with muco-obstructive pulmonary disease. Mucus plugs will be identified using CT imaging, and xenon MRI will be used to evaluate ventilation and gas exchange impairments in regions of the lungs corresponding to the airways downstream of mucus plugs.

  • •Participation in an intervention study (including bronchoscopy) or use of investigative drugs within the past 30 days or plans to enroll in such a trial during the study
  • •Unable or unlikely to complete study assessments in the opinion of the Investigator
  • •Study intervention poses undue risk to patient in the opinion of the Investigator
  • •Conditions that will prohibit MRI scanning determined by the MRI safety screening.
