Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Researchers will use advanced MRI methods, including UTE and bSSFP, along with standard MRI, to image the lungs. The study collects MRI images and health information from participants aged 5 and older, spanning healthy individuals and those with various lung, musculoskeletal, or bone diseases. The goal is to better understand how lung structure varies across health and disease and to improve future imaging approaches. This is an observational study at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center led by Laura Walkup.
