Checking lung ventilation with 3D electrical imaging
This study tests a new 3D imaging method that shows how well your lungs are being ventilated (aired), compared to a standard CT scan. It may help doctors monitor breathing more safely and in real time, especially in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You are either a healthy volunteer or an ICU patient whose doctor thinks CT imaging is needed.
- You must be able to undergo both 4D-CT and 3D-EIT monitoring without problems.
- You must be able to give written consent, either yourself or through a legal representative.
- You cannot be pregnant or have severe breathing distress that makes CT unsafe.
- You cannot have extensive chest skin issues, a pacemaker, or other conditions that interfere with the monitoring.

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 study is testing a new way to monitor lung function using a 3D electrical imaging device (EIT) while patients with ARDS lie on their stomach to improve breathing. The goal is to see if this imaging helps doctors better understand how the lungs are working.
This study tests a new imaging method called 3D-EIT (a safe, non-invasive electrical scan) to diagnose and track pulmonary embolism—dangerous blood clots in the lungs. If you've just been diagnosed with your first blood clot via CT scan, this trial may help doctors better understand and monitor your condition.
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.
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 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.
