NCT ID NCT03265366

First seen May 21, 2026 · Last updated Jun 09, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tested whether MRI can be used instead of CT scans to see lung damage from allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), a lung condition caused by fungus. Researchers compared MRI and CT images from 25 adults with ABPA or severe asthma. The goal was to see if MRI could reliably detect key signs like widened airways and mucus plugs.
