Study Summary

An open label non-randomized study enrolling up to 20 healthy participants and up to 30 participants with cystic fibrosis to establish a healthy versus disease comparison. Each participant will receive a mixture of inert gas (perfluoropropane (PFP)) in a ratio of 79% PFP to 21% oxygen as a contrast agent to enhance visualization of the airway and alveolar spaces using magnetic resonance imaging of inert gas/oxygen mixtures. The study consists of a screening visit followed by up to 2 study visits.

Primary Outcome

Determine if 19F gas images of the human lung and airways can be obtained in both single breath-hold and gated breathing imaging studies with adequate signal level and image contrast to extract regional lung ventilation information.
