This study is looking at a better way to find COPD (a lung disease common in smokers) by using CT scans that people already get for lung cancer screening. Researchers will examine your existing scan and may ask you to take a breathing test to confirm whether you have COPD. The goal is to catch the disease early in people who smoke or used to smoke.
Many smokers have COPD but don't know it because they haven't been screened. This research aims to find a simpler, earlier way to identify COPD using scans people are already getting for other reasons, so patients can get treatment sooner.

As a participant, you would allow researchers to review your existing lung cancer screening CT scan and medical records. You may be asked to complete a breathing test (spirometry) to confirm COPD status if you haven't had one recently. The study is observational, meaning you won't receive any new medications or interventions — researchers are simply gathering information to better understand how to identify COPD early.
