This trial is designed to find people who have chronic lung disease but don't know it yet. Researchers will use low-dose CT scans (lung imaging tests) that are already being done to screen for early lung cancer, and also look at those same images to spot signs of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. If the scan shows signs of airflow problems, you'll be asked to do some breathing tests and answer additional questions.
Many people have COPD but have never been diagnosed—up to 40% of cases go undetected. Finding it earlier could help doctors treat it sooner and help patients avoid serious complications. Since lung cancer screening already involves imaging of the lungs, this is a good opportunity to look for COPD at the same time.

You'll have a low-dose CT scan of your lungs as part of routine lung cancer screening. Researchers will look at those same images to check for signs of COPD. If the scan shows possible airflow problems, you'll be contacted to complete breathing tests (pulmonary function testing) and fill out additional questionnaires about your symptoms and health history. The study aims to enroll 1,000 participants.
