This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether combining chest ultrasound scans with wearable sensors that measure your breathing can help doctors better diagnose and understand lung diseases. Researchers want to learn more about what ultrasound images mean when someone has conditions like emphysema or interstitial lung disease, and whether adding information about your actual breathing patterns makes diagnosis more accurate.
Doctors have been using chest ultrasound for years, but they don't fully understand how to interpret the images, especially for lung diseases that haven't yet caused the lung tissue to solidify. This trial aims to clarify what ultrasound patterns mean and whether combining ultrasound with real-time breathing data can make diagnosis more reliable.

On the day you enroll, you will have ultrasound scans of your chest taken with both clinical and research ultrasound machines, followed by a CT scan with small metal markers placed on your skin to help compare the two imaging types. You will also wear a small wearable patch on your upper chest for one day that measures your heart rhythm, breathing effort, breathing flow, body position, and activity level. The entire visit should take a few hours and involves no pain or invasive procedures.
