Simple scan could spot deadly lung damage earlier
NCT ID NCT04725786
Summary
This study tested whether a chest ultrasound, which is simple and radiation-free, can detect early signs of lung scarring in people with scleroderma. Researchers enrolled 30 scleroderma patients who did not yet show lung disease on standard CT scans. The goal was to see if ultrasound could find subtle changes before they become serious, potentially allowing for earlier treatment.
