Photon-counting CT for better lung scans
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new type of CT scanner (photon-counting CT) for chest imaging. If you are already in the Duke-COPDGene study, you may be invited to also get this special scan to see if it gives clearer pictures of your lungs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are already taking part in the Duke-COPDGene Phase 4 study.
- You agree to join this additional scan.

This study looks at COPD in people who are already getting lung cancer screening. If you have COPD or a high risk for it, joining this observational trial may help researchers learn more about your condition.
This study uses chest CT scans and blood tests to better tell asthma and COPD apart and predict which treatments will work best for you. The goal is to help doctors diagnose and treat these lung conditions more accurately.
This study compares two ways of seeing how well your lungs work: a special MRI scan and another scan that uses a different gas. It may help researchers find which imaging test best reflects lung function in people with COPD.
This study is testing a new, more advanced type of CT scanner. It uses photon-counting technology to take clearer pictures of the body with less radiation. You will have one or more CT scans to help researchers see how well this new machine works compared to current scanners.
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 trial tests a new type of CT scanner that may produce clearer images of the heart. It is for people already scheduled for a standard cardiac CT.
