NCT ID NCT07400445
First seen Feb 17, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study looked at 277 ICU patients on breathing machines to see how well chest X-rays (read by intensive care doctors) agree with CT scans (read by radiologists) for diagnosing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The results showed that X-rays often do not detect ARDS that is visible on CT, meaning many cases could be missed. The study highlights the need for more accurate, accessible diagnostic methods for this serious lung condition.
