Using electrical impedance tomography for heart and lung imaging
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses a safe, non-invasive technique called EIT to monitor heart and lung function in children and young adults with certain heart or lung conditions, compared with healthy volunteers. It may help doctors better understand and manage these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 2 weeks to 25 years
- You have a heart or lung condition such as prematurity-related lung disease, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart disease, respiratory failure, neuromuscular disease, or developmental lung disease
- Or you are a healthy volunteer born full-term with no heart or lung disease
- No skin problems, chest tubes, or dressings that prevent placing small electrodes on the chest
- No pacemaker or metal implant in the chest
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding

This study tests a new, noninvasive way to measure lung function in people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). It uses a belt with electrodes placed around your chest during a standard heart catheterization procedure.
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 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 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 trial tests whether a special chest sensor (called electrical impedance tomography, or EIT) can help doctors distribute breathing support more effectively in children with sudden breathing failure. It may help optimize ventilation while the child is being monitored in intensive care or during anesthesia.
This study tests a new, less invasive method using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to monitor blood flow in the lungs compared to the standard pulmonary artery catheter. It might help doctors manage your care with fewer risks.
