Summary

This study looks at whether lung ultrasound can detect emphysema (a type of lung damage) as well as CT scans do. About 1,600 people with or without emphysema will get both an ultrasound and a CT scan. The goal is to find patterns on ultrasound that match the damage seen on CT, which could lead to a simpler, radiation-free way to check lung health.
