Screening for lung and heart disease using chest X-rays
Part of Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are willing to have a chest X-ray as part of routine health screening or community health check

- You have not had a chest X-ray or chest CT scan in the past 3 months

This study builds a lung imaging registry using MRI pictures to learn how breathing health looks and changes. It may help researchers understand lung problems and how well different people can complete breathing-related MRI scans.
This trial enrolls adults who recently had a chest X-ray as part of routine health screening and did not show major abnormal findings, and who do not have significant breathing symptoms. It may help researchers understand changes in respiratory health over time and improve how respiratory disease risk is monitored.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze chest X-rays and identify people who may be at high risk for lung cancer and could benefit from a CT screening scan. It's designed for current or former smokers aged 50 to 77 who have had a recent chest X-ray and are not already being checked for lung cancer.
This study looks at whether chest X-rays can help find heart problems in newborns early. If your baby is in the neonatal unit and has signs of a possible heart issue, this imaging test may help doctors detect and treat it sooner.
This study tests an X-ray system that helps doctors spot chest problems like pneumonia, tuberculosis, or lung cancer. It might give more accurate results and earlier detection.
This study looks at chest CT scans to find early signs of lung tissue changes or airway issues. It may help improve how we screen for these conditions.
