Active Clinical Trials:
Monitoring Response to Orkambi in Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease by Inhaled Xenon MRI
Use of Hyperpolarized Xenon Gas for Lung Imaging in Children and Adults (HPXeMR)
Use of Hyperpolarized 129Xe MR Lung Imaging in Adults for Calibration (HpXeMRCal)
Imaging of Lungs With a New Type of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Called UTE (Ultrashort Echo Time)
Evaluation and Treatment Planning of Patients With PAP Using Thrive Ultra Short Echo Time MRI and CT (PAP)
Multicenter Interventional Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) Early Disease Trial (MILED)
Imaging and Understanding BOS in Lung Transplantation
Our Mission
- Create and provide imaging methods that can be used longitudinally, from birth through adulthood
- Lead the field of pediatric pulmonary imaging through advanced and quantitative techniques, including hyperpolarized 3He and 129Xe MRI, UTE MRI, and multi-volume CT
- Broaden the understanding of regional structure and function and how these are altered by pulmonary diseases
- Perform and encourage multi-disciplinary, translational research in humans and animal models of disease
