Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for adults with heart or lung diseases that might cause scarring. Participants will undergo a series of imaging tests over two years to help researchers learn more about these conditions.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may be able to join if

  • I am at least 18 years old.
  • I have been diagnosed with a heart or lung disease.
  • I have had prior imaging of my lungs or heart.
  • I can lie still for about 45 minutes during imaging.
  • I understand and can sign a consent form.

You may not be able to join if

  • I have had allergic reactions to similar substances used in this study.
  • I have a serious illness that affects my ability to follow the study.
  • I am currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • I have severe claustrophobia that cannot be managed.
  • I weigh more than 350 lbs or cannot fit in the imaging machine.

About This Trial
Background: Injury or diseases of the heart and lung can sometimes cause scar tissue (fibrosis) to build up in those organs. Current imaging scans can see this scar tissue once it has formed, but researchers want to find a way to detect the fibrosis in its earliest stages, while there might still be time to prevent serious damage. A new tracer (a radioactive substance injected during imaging scan…
