Phase Resolved Functional Lung MRI and Oscillometry for the Observation of Healthy Lung Function
University of Rochester
Summary
This study will examine the relationship of airways resistance measured by oscillometry with ventilation defects measured by Phase Resolved Functional Lung (PREFUL) MRI in healthy human subjects.
Eligibility
- Age range
- 18+ years
- Sex
- All
- Healthy volunteers
- Yes
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 years or older * Ability to provide consent * Willingness to perform MRI and breathing test * Must be able to speak and understand English Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant * Unable or willing to provide consent or perform the required maneuvers for testing.
Interventions
- DeviceAirway Oscillometer
The termoflo c-100 Airwave Oscillometer System is intended to measure respiratory system impedance using the Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT).
- Diagnostic TestPhase Resolved Functional Lung MRI
The Phase Resolved Functional Lung (PREFUL) MRI technique acquires images of the lung so that measures of ventilatory defect percentage can be calculated.
