Lung imaging

Lung imaging with hyperpolarised gases and proton MRI which provide very detailed images of patient’s lungs without relying on X-rays radiation. The technique of hyperpolarised gas MRI involves a person inhaling small amounts of noble gases (Helium-3 and Xenon-129), which are then imaged inside an MRI scanner. The gases are hyperpolarised using high power lasers by a process called optical pumping. The group have developed specialised gas laser polarisers and custom MRI scanner hardware which provide high-resolution images that are not currently available with conventional methods. The innovative imaging technology illuminates lung function and helps clinicians identify early signs of lung disease, for example earlier diagnosis of emphysema and smoking related damage, as well as other lung conditions and diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, asthma, pulmonary hypertension and cystic fibrosis.

Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF) was one of the hardest experiences of my life. The breathlessness, the fatigue, and the fear of the future weighed on me every single day. I had tried so many treatments and medications, but nothing seemed to stop the disease from progressing.Out of both hope and desperation, I came across NaturePath Herbal Clinic. At first, I was skeptical but something about their natural approach and the stories I read gave me the courage to try one more time.I began their herbal treatment program, and within a few weeks, I noticed small changes easier breathing, more energy, and a clearer mind. Over themonths, those improvements became more and more obvious. Today, I can truly say my life has changed.

Don’t give up hope. I’m so grateful I gave NaturePath Herbal Clinic a chance. Visit their website to learn more: www.naturepathherbalclinic.com info@naturepathherbalclinic.com
