Development of New MRI Pulse Sequences for Probing Lung Function in Volunteers With Hyperpolarised 3He Gas
Phase 1
Completed
- Conditions
- Healthy Volunteers
- Registration Number
- NCT01235494
- Brief Summary
To develop techniques with MRI of Helium-3 gas to give functional images of the lungs. The goal is to test a single breath-hold functional 3-He MRI pulse sequence with sensitivity to multiple functional aspects of the luncg physiology. A group of 20 healthy volunteers willbe recruited from the local research group and the results compared with existing methods that require seperate breath-holds of 3He gas
