ClinConnect Summary

The Imaging Measures of Respiratory Health Registry is a study designed to gather information about lung health in both healthy individuals and those with respiratory diseases. Researchers will use advanced imaging techniques, like MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), to look at how the lungs work and their structure. This study aims to create new ways to analyze lung images, which could help improve our understanding of respiratory conditions.

Anyone aged 0 to 99 years can participate, whether they have a lung condition diagnosed by a doctor or are completely healthy. To join, participants (or their guardians) will need to give their consent and should be able to follow instructions during the MRI process. It's important to note that people with certain health issues, like needing extra oxygen or having a history of claustrophobia, may not be eligible. During the study, participants can expect to undergo imaging tests and share some general health information, which will help researchers advance their knowledge of lung health.
