“Healthy Lung Study- Development of 3 Tesla MRI Hardware and Software for Helium-3 Gas Imaging of the Lung: Healthy Volunteer Development Study”
Healthy volunteers aged 18-75 will undergo hyperpolarized 3-Helium MRI and pulmonary function testing for the development of tools to assess image signal to noise and reproducibility of spin-density and diffusion-weighted imaging.

Diagnostic Test - Hyperpolarized Helium 3 Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Hyperpolarized noble gas imaging using Helium-3 has been used to explore structural and functional relationships in the lung in patients with lung disease and healthy controls. In contrast to proton-based MRI imaging, 3He gas is used as a contrast agent to directly visualize the airways, and thus ventilation. Whereas the normal density of gas is too low to produce an easily detectable signal, this is overcome by artificially increasing the amount of polarization per unit volume using optical pum ...read more on ClinicalTrials.org
