The purpose of this study is to see if a positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest can assess changes in the thymus size and function. The researchers would like to monitor the thymus with a PET/CT scan and a MRI before and after the participants transplantation.

change in thymic size
A clinically meaningful change is defined as increase in thymic size (\> 0.2cm increase in uni-dimensional diameter), functional volume (\>10%) or uptake (≥25%). We will report proportion of patients with each component of clinically meaningful change, as well as the proportion with at least one component, along 95% exact confidence intervals.
