Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this study, we will study 129Xe-MRI and LCI as tools for diagnosis of BOS in pediatric patients who have received Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) and have been identified as eligible for this study. Participants will be required to have vital signs collected, complete breathing tests and complete an MRI. The MRI will require participants to perform breath holds in the MRI scanner with xenon gas while being coached by a research assistant.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1

Participants who meet the screening criteria for the development of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) according to the NIH criteria

No interventions assigned to this group

Group 2

Participants who may or may not have abnormal spirometry; however they do not fulfill the NIH criteria for the development of BOS

No interventions assigned to this group
