Are you a healthy adult or an adult who has been diagnosed with an interstitial lung disease (ILD)? This study will test whether administering an inhaled gas called hyperpolarized 129Xe before magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) better detects changing disease activity. To participate in the study, you must be age 18 or older and have no history of smoking for the past 5 years. This study will take place in Iowa City, Iowa; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Durham, North Carolina.

Are you a healthy adult? In this clinical trial, researchers are trying to improve the quality of heart CT scans by using new methods to create the images. Researchers will take normal CT images of the heart and compare those images to super high-resolution images made with a super-computer. Healthy adults aged 18 years or older may be able to participate. The study is taking place at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

Are you at least 18 years old and scheduled for a CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis? In this study, researchers want to learn if new CT imaging methods with less radiation make images that are similar to traditional ways. If you are at least 18 and your doctor has said you need a CT scan of the chest, abdomen, or pelvis, you may be able to participate. This study is taking place at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

The goal of the study is to look at the relationship between how individuals with Sarcoidosis take the sarcoidosis medicines and how it affects the disease, to evaluate any factors that may make individuals not want to take the medicines, and to develop and refine ways to help support individuals with Sarcoidosis especially when it comes to the medicines. The overall hypothesis is higher medication adherence will be associated with better clinical outcomes in sarcoidosis. The investigators will enroll 150 patients with biopsy proven pulmonary sarcoidosis for at least one year who are on any oral treatment regimen for at least six months into a 12-month longitudinal study.
