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

Detailed criteria

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

Device
Airway Oscillometer
The termoflo c-100 Airwave Oscillometer System is intended to measure respiratory system impedance using the Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT).
Diagnostic Test
Phase 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.
