Overview
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.
Interventions
- Combination product Hyperpolarized 129 Xenon
Xenon gas contrast agent for MRI
Primary outcome measures
- Ventilation Defect in Mucus blocked Regions [Time frame: Baseline]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Changes to Gas Exchange with Bronchodilator [Time frame: Baseline]
