First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is testing a special PET scan that uses a radioactive tracer to find collagen buildup in the lungs, which is an early sign of scarring. Researchers will compare scans from healthy relatives of people with pulmonary fibrosis and from patients with early lung abnormalities. The goal is to see if this scan can detect lung disease earlier than current methods.
