Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction MRI Study
Sponsor: Sean Fain
Summary
This studies purpose is to confirm the efficacy and efficiency of using OE-MRI and MRI with hyperpolarized gas techniques and Iodinated contrast CT scan, this will enhance understanding of CLAD pathophysiology. Moreover, this project is foundational to performing additional studies to establish if novel MRI imaging can serve as an objective confirmatory diagnostic tool for CLAD in post-transplant patients.
Official title: Validation of MRI, CT and Pulmonary Function Tests for Early Detection of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction

Interventions
Spirometry
Spirometry measures lung function, specifically the amount and/or speed of air that can be inhaled and exhaled.
Contrast Lung Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
CT scan of the lungs using contrast
Oxygen enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (OE-MRI) Scan
MRI will be taken while subject is lying on their back breathing 100% oxygen.
129Xe MRI scans
MRI will be taken while subject is lying on their back breathing room oxygen and taking a breath of 129Xe and holding it for a few seconds.
