Repeatability in Hyperpolarized 3-Helium Magnetic Resonance Imaging
The main purpose of this study is to assess and test the reproducibility and results of hyperpolarized 3-Helium gas as a contrast agent with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the lungs in healthy adult subjects.

Conditions
- Radiation Exposure
Interventions
- Prone hyperpolarized 3 helium gas scan
- Supine hyperpolarized 3 helium gas scan
- Vitals
- Pulmonary Function Tests
- Initial protocol MRI scan
Primary outcomes
- Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) as a Function of Lung Inflation Levels. — Through study completion, measurements completed at one day visit only.
Validate the intrinsic variability of ADC (cm2/s) as a function of normal procedural and physiological changes in an attempt to standardize the use of the biomarker in future assessments of pulmonary pathologies.
