Summary

This study tested whether a new type of PET scan can measure how the supplement EGCG (found in green tea) affects collagen buildup in the lungs of people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Twelve participants who were already in a larger EGCG study received an injection of a special probe that lights up collagen during the scan. The goal was to see if the scan could detect changes in lung collagen and help choose the right dose of EGCG.
