Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Acquisition of baseline data and images to investigate use of hp129Xe as a diagnostic tool
Time Frame: 4 years
i) Obtain baseline data for each group with matched clinical data (e.g. pulmonary function tests) allowing comparison with existing clinical diagnostic techniques and also determining correlation with disease severity ii) Use the images obtained to set up standard sequencing protocols and define algorithms and inform power calculations for subsequent studies
Secondary Outcomes
- Collation of data regarding ability of participants to adhere to the study protocol(4 years)
