NCT ID NCT06235645
First seen May 09, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a quick, safe, and cheap lung ultrasound can detect lung scarring (interstitial lung disease) in people with rheumatoid arthritis. About 280 adults with rheumatoid arthritis and risk factors for lung disease will get an ultrasound, and the results will be compared to the standard CT scan. If ultrasound works well, it could become a routine screening tool, avoiding radiation and high costs.
