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.
Who can take part
- 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 uses ultrasound and sensors to monitor lung health in people with certain lung conditions, including those that cause scarring or breathing problems. It aims to find better ways to track lung disease, which could help manage your condition more effectively.
This study uses a lung wash (bronchoalveolar lavage) to look at the types of immune cells in the lungs of people with certain lung scarring diseases called interstitial lung diseases (ILD). It may help doctors better understand different ILD types and guide treatment.
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 uses artificial intelligence and special imaging tests, like PET/CT and low-dose CT, to find lung cancer early in people at higher risk. It aims to improve how we spot and understand early signs of lung cancer.
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.
