Summary

This study uses a safe, radiation-free device called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to take pictures of the lungs in infants, children, and young adults up to age 25. Researchers will compare images from patients with chronic lung or heart conditions to healthy controls to better understand lung structure and function. The goal is to learn more about lung disease without using harmful X-rays or CT scans.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to a safer, radiation-free way to monitor lung health in children with chronic respiratory conditions.
What could go wrong: This is a small pilot study focused on imaging, not treatment. It may not lead to immediate clinical changes or benefit participants directly.
