Ultrasound may replace costly CT scans for lung disease in arthritis patients

NCT ID NCT06235645

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a quick, non-invasive lung ultrasound can detect interstitial lung disease in people with rheumatoid arthritis. About 280 adults with RA and risk factors for lung disease will get an ultrasound, and results will be compared to standard chest CT scans. If accurate, ultrasound could become a cheaper, safer screening tool.
