New portable chest X-ray for ICU patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Infections, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new portable chest X-ray that can be used in the ICU to check for problems like fluid in the lungs, trouble breathing, or swallowing issues. It is designed to help doctors see these problems more easily without moving you to the radiology department.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have or are likely to have a lung or swallowing problem (like trouble breathing, fluid in the lungs, or risk of choking).
- You are not pregnant (if you could be pregnant, a test will be done first).
- There is no medical reason that extra X-ray would be harmful for you.
- The care team agrees that it's okay to talk to you about this study.
- You or your legal representative can sign a consent form.

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.
This study tests a computer program that helps doctors read chest X-rays faster and more accurately. It is for adults who had an X-ray because of breathing problems like a cough or fever.
This study tests whether a computer program can help doctors read chest x-rays more accurately. The program is designed to spot when breathing or feeding tubes are not in the right place and to detect lung collapse (pneumothorax) in emergency and intensive care patients.
This study tests if a new type of chest x-ray (dynamic chest x-ray) can help diagnose COPD. You would breathe normally and deeply while the x-ray takes images for 20 seconds. This could be a more comfortable way to check for COPD compared to standard breathing tests.
This study uses chest X-rays to screen for early signs of lung and heart disease in people without known serious disease. Researchers want to understand how well routine chest imaging can catch health problems early.
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.
