Compare three lung tests in infants getting CT scans
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares three ways to look at a baby’s lungs—CT scan, electrical impedance (a painless sensor belt), and ultrasound—using babies who are already scheduled for a CT scan. It may help find safer, more bedside-friendly lung monitoring in young infants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is 12 months old or younger
- Your baby is currently hospitalized in the pediatric department at the Medical University of Vienna
- Your baby is scheduled to have a CT scan of the chest (thorax)
- Your baby does not have unstable heart, breathing, or brain conditions
- Your baby has not had sternotomy surgery (opening the chest through the breastbone) in the last 15 days
- The skin on the chest where the sensor belt would go is uninjured (no wounds, burns, or other lesions)

This study uses a special lung ultrasound to look at how well a baby's lungs are working. It is for babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) who need help breathing. The goal is to see if the ultrasound can give doctors useful information.
This study tests a new 3D imaging method that shows how well your lungs are being ventilated (aired), compared to a standard CT scan. It may help doctors monitor breathing more safely and in real time, especially in the ICU.
This trial uses a safe, non-invasive technique called EIT to monitor heart and lung function in children and young adults with certain heart or lung conditions, compared with healthy volunteers. It may help doctors better understand and manage these conditions.
This trial tests whether using ultrasound instead of X-rays for lung imaging can safely reduce radiation exposure in very premature babies. If your baby needs lung imaging, they may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a special chest sensor (called electrical impedance tomography, or EIT) can help doctors distribute breathing support more effectively in children with sudden breathing failure. It may help optimize ventilation while the child is being monitored in intensive care or during anesthesia.
This study tests whether a special imaging technique called EIT (electrical impedance tomography) combined with a safe contrast injection can measure blood flow in the lungs of patients on breathing machines. If it works, it could help doctors better manage critically ill patients.
