Brief Summary: Subjects aged 18-85 with lung disease will undergo hyperpolarized Xenon 129 (129-Xe) MRI and Pulmonary Function testing for the development of tools to evaluate the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC), ventilation defect percent (VDP) and pulmonary gas exchange measurements obtained by analysis of hyperpolarized 129-Xe MRI.
Detailed Description: Briefly, during a one to two hour visit, subjects will provide written informed consent and then undergo:

1. brief medical history and vital signs,
2. full pulmonary function tests,
3. proton MRI,
4. spin-density, diffusion weighted, and/or dissolved phase 129-Xe MRI,
5. Low-dose thoracic CT

Full pulmonary function tests including spirometry, plethysmography and diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO), Multiple Breath Nitrogen Washout (MBNW) to measure Lung Clearance Index (LCI), and Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) will be performed according to American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines. MedGraphics Elite Series, MedGraphics Corporation. St. Paul, Minnesota USA and/or nDD EasyOne Spirometer, nDD Medical Technologies Inc. Andover, Massachusetts USA will be used. All measurements will be performed in the Pulmonary Function Laboratory at Robarts Research Institute.

Subjects will be placed in the 3T Magnetic Resonance (MR) scanner with one of three 129-Xe chest coils fitted over their torso and chest. Hearing protection will be provided to each subject to muffle the noise produced by the gradient radiofrequency (RF) coils. A pulse oximeter lead will be attached to all of the subjects to monitor their heart rate and oxygen saturation. MRI will be performed for up to a period of 30 minutes. All subjects will have supplemental oxygen available via nasal cannula at a flow-rate of 2 liters per minute as a precaution in the event of oxygen desaturation. Thoracic low dose CT will be performed with the same inhalation breath-hold volume and maneuver (nitrogen gas only) used for MRI to obtain participant-specific high resolution images of lung anatomy (tissue structure and airway morphology).
