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 a new type of chest X-ray called Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR) that can capture moving images of your lungs while you breathe. Unlike traditional still X-rays, this technology takes 15 pictures per second for just 7 to 20 seconds, showing how your lungs are actually moving and functioning. The researchers want to see if this new tool gives doctors more useful information to diagnose lung problems in people who are hospitalized in intensive care units.
Standard chest X-rays have been used for over 100 years but they only show still images, which can make it hard for doctors to fully understand how well your lungs are working. This new treatment could help doctors see things like how much your lungs are moving, how air is getting in and out, and where fluid might be building up — all without giving you extra radiation.

If you join this study, you will receive the new Dynamic Digital Radiography scan as part of your care in the intensive care unit. You will also receive the standard imaging tests your doctors normally order (such as traditional chest X-rays or ultrasounds). The new scan takes only 7 to 20 seconds and uses about the same amount of radiation as a regular chest X-ray. Your scan images will then be compared to your standard imaging to see how helpful the new technology is.
