The purpose of this study is to establish whether MRI scanning is a sensitive measure of the effects of existing drug treatments on nasal dimensions following challenge with intranasal allergen in subjects with hayfever. If successful this technique could be applied to increase confidence for internal decision making and ultimately may be used to assess how effective a new drug treatment is.

Cross-sectional airspace area (and thus also airspace volume) of the nasal passages
Time frame: at 1hr post-dose and 30-60mins post-allergen challenge.
Volume of fluid identified adjacent to the airspace. Mucosal surface area. Nasal cavity volume. Nasal tissue volume derived from the nasal cavity volume less airspace and fluid volumes.
Time frame: At 1hr post-dose and 30-60mins post-allergen challenge
