Study Summary

The purpose of this study is being done to determine whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using inhaled hyper-polarized 129 Xenon gas can help visualize impaired lung function to detect changes over time in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) patients receiving approved IPF treatments. Participants will undergo an approximately hour long comprehensive MRI protocol, including administration of multiple doses of hyper-polarized 129 Xenon. The subjects will have this initial study prior to initiation of IPF therapies. Then the participants will have repeat studies at 3, 6 and 12 months following the initiation of therapy.

Primary Outcome

RBC:barrier ratio will be determined using 129 Xenon MRI. The RBC:barrier ratio is a key metric that quantifies the efficiency of gas exchange, specifically the balance between red blood cell uptake and alveolar-capillary barrier function by showing how well oxygen gets from the air sacs to the blood. A low ratio often indicates impaired gas transfer, reflecting conditions where either RBC function or the barrier's permeability is compromised.
