NCT ID NCT07328997

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study tested an artificial intelligence model that analyzes chest CT scans to help diagnose and manage Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Researchers used data from 400 ICU patients to train the AI to classify ARDS severity, recommend treatments, and predict 28-day survival. The goal is to give doctors a faster, more accurate tool to guide critical care decisions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

CT scan

What this could lead to

If successful, this AI model could help doctors more accurately diagnose ARDS severity and choose the right treatments faster, potentially improving patient outcomes.

What could go wrong

This is a completed study using existing data, so the model's real-world performance in new patients is not yet proven. The AI may not work as well outside the study's specific hospital setting.
