Advanced CT scan to check heart and lung health in lung disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a special high-resolution CT scan to look at heart and lung problems in people with a type of lung disease that gets worse over time. It may help doctors understand how the heart is affected and guide better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have a known or suspected lung disease that gets worse over time
- You do not have any active infections
- You do not have heart disease or a history of heart procedures or devices
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have no allergy to iodine contrast dye and can lie still for the scan

This study compares two types of CT scans to see which one is better at identifying idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a specific type of interstitial lung disease. You may be able to join if you have been diagnosed with ILD and are being discussed by a team of specialists.
This study uses a special CT scan to take detailed images of your heart muscle. The goal is to see how well this scan can identify heart problems like inflammation or scarring.
This trial tests how well a CT scan and lung function tests can measure interstitial lung disease (ILD), which is long-term scarring or inflammation in the lungs. It may help doctors use these images and tests more accurately to track ILD.
This trial is a study database that collects information from adults who have other illnesses that can increase the risk of developing interstitial lung disease (lung scarring). It may help researchers better understand who is at risk and how outcomes change over time.
This trial studies lung scans (HRCT) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis, interstitial lung disease, or connective tissue disease to better understand lung involvement. If you have one of these conditions and have had a lung CT, you may be able to help.
This study checks if a computer program can reliably measure the amount of lung scarring on chest CT scans. It's for people with certain types of interstitial lung disease who are already scheduled for a routine CT scan.
