Hyperpolarized Xenon-129 MRI for E-Cigarette Users
This study is looking at the effects of e-cigarettes on the lungs of healthy young adults. Researchers will use a special type of MRI called Hyperpolarized Xenon-129 MRI to get detailed images of your lungs. This imaging technique helps measure how air moves through your lungs (ventilation) and how gases are absorbed into your lung tissue and blood. The study aims to understand how e-cigarette use might affect these lung functions. You may be able to join if you are between 21 and 30 years old, in good health, and can understand the study requirements. The main goal is to measure lung changes using the MRI technique over 12 months.
