Using electrical impedance tomography to look at lung disease
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a lung condition such as COPD, asthma, pneumonia, or ongoing lung issues after COVID-19
- Or you are a healthy adult with no breathing problems, a BMI between 18 and 36, and you have not smoked for at least 12 months
- You are able to do a breathing test called spirometry while sitting down (unless you are in a special group where not being able to do this is being studied)
- You sign a consent form approved by the ethics committee

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.
This study looks at how different parts of your lungs breathe after you’ve had COVID that didn’t fully go away. It may help researchers understand why breathing symptoms can linger and how to better assess them using a CT scan.
This study tests if a special imaging technique (Electrical Impedance Tomography or EIT) can help doctors better predict outcomes in people with severe lung injury (ARDS). The goal is to use regular, safe lung scans to guide breathing treatment.
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 surveys respiratory therapists and doctors in China about using a lung imaging tool called electrical impedance tomography (EIT). It helps understand how this tool is used in hospitals.
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.
