Breathing easier: MRI may offer Radiation-Free lung fibrosis diagnosis
NCT ID NCT03078426
First seen May 22, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether lung MRI could be used instead of CT scans to diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a serious lung disease. Researchers compared MRI images to standard CT scans in 60 adults to see if MRI could spot the same key signs of lung scarring. The goal was to find a way to diagnose IPF without exposing patients to radiation from CT scans.
