Testing 3d electrical impedance tomography for lung ventilation imaging
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are either a healthy volunteer or an ICU patient whose doctor has already recommended a CT scan.
- You can tolerate having a 4D-CT scan (not pregnant, not in severe respiratory distress).
- Your chest skin is healthy, and you don't have any implanted electronic devices like a pacemaker.
- You can stay still and cooperate during the scanning, which includes avoiding coughing or other movements.

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 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 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 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 trial uses a special imaging technique (electrical impedance tomography) to find the best ventilator settings for patients with acute breathing failure. It may help doctors tailor treatment to improve lung function.
