Researchers develop MRI lung scan using special gas to visualize real-time lung function.

Researchers at Newcastle University have developed a new lung scanning method using MRI and a special gas called perfluoropropane. This technique allows real-time visualization of lung function, helping doctors assess treatment effects and monitor lung transplant recipients. By detecting areas with poor ventilation, the method can improve early detection of lung function issues and guide timely medical interventions.
