Lung air flow patterns on CT scans after COVID-19
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses chest CT scans to look at how air moves through the lungs in people who are still having symptoms after COVID-19. The goal is to understand these imbalances better, which could help guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are having a chest CT scan to check for post-COVID-19 issues
- You do not have a pacemaker
- You do not have uncontrollable body movements (like severe shaking)
- You have not recently had a serious injury or unstable spinal fracture

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a special imaging test called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to look at how well the lungs work in people with lung diseases like COPD, asthma, pneumonia, or long-term effects from COVID-19. It also includes healthy volunteers to compare results.
This study tests a new, radiation-free imaging method (3D EIT) to see how well it measures lung ventilation compared to a standard 4D-CT scan. It may help doctors in the ICU assess lung function more safely and frequently in the future.
This trial studies how the lungs’ breathing (airflow) and blood flow may be off in people with long-COVID symptoms like tiredness, shortness of breath, or trouble exercising. It may help researchers understand what’s driving symptoms and what kinds of abnormalities could be targeted.
This study looks at how well electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a safe imaging method that measures how air and blood move through the lungs, works in seriously ill patients. If you are a respiratory therapist or a part-time respiratory therapy doctor or nurse working in China, you can join by completing an online questionnaire.
This study tests a new, non-invasive imaging method called pulsatile electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to help diagnose and monitor acute pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs). It may provide a faster or safer way to detect clots compared to standard CT scans, especially for patients who cannot have contrast dye.
This study tests if a special imaging technique (Electrical Impedance Tomography or EIT) can help doctors better predict outcomes in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). The goal is to use regular, safe lung scans to guide breathing treatment.
