Read our Cystic Fibrosis research guide →This study uses a special type of MRI scan — a magnetic imaging test — to take detailed pictures of how air moves through your lungs. You'll inhale a safe contrast gas called perfluoropropane to help the scanner see your airways more clearly. Researchers want to understand how lung function changes over time in people with cystic fibrosis and how it responds to infections and treatment.
Current lung tests for cystic fibrosis don't always show exactly where and how lungs are struggling. This medication or imaging approach could give doctors a much better picture of lung disease, helping them catch problems earlier and measure whether treatments are working.

You'll visit the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for 3 to 5 visits over one year, each lasting up to 4 hours. At each visit, you'll receive standard lung function tests and then undergo an MRI scan where you'll breathe in a safe, inert gas through a mask during short breath-hold cycles. If you experience a lung infection during the year, you'll have two additional visits — one before treatment and one after — so the researchers can see how the infection and treatment affect your lungs.
