Predicting COPD progression with dynamic chest x-rays
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a special type of chest x-ray (called dynamic chest radiography) can help predict how chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) might progress. It may help doctors better understand the disease and plan treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 85 years old.
- You have had a pulmonary function test (a breathing test) and a dynamic chest x-ray at the hospital.
- Your medical records are complete and accessible.
- The study doctor determines you are suitable for the study.

This study looks at factors that can predict when chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) will flare up. It may help doctors identify people at higher risk sooner and tailor care to prevent flare-ups.
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 study compares two ways of seeing how well your lungs work: a special MRI scan and another scan that uses a different gas. It may help researchers find which imaging test best reflects lung function in people with COPD.
This study tests if a new type of chest x-ray (dynamic chest x-ray) can help diagnose COPD. You would breathe normally and deeply while the x-ray takes images for 20 seconds. This could be a more comfortable way to check for COPD compared to standard breathing tests.
This study uses information from past hospital discharge records and breathing test results to predict who with COPD may have worse health outcomes later. It may help future COPD care by identifying higher-risk patients earlier.
This study looks at different forms of COPD to find better ways to treat them. It may help you understand your own condition and receive more personalized care.
