Lung Imaging of Apoptosis in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Summary

This is a prospective interventional study examining the use of Annexin - a radioactive tracer, in assessing lung damage in healthy volunteers, healthy volunteers actively smoking, and patients with moderate and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). All study participants will undergo a CT scan, pulmonary testing, and blood test. The study procedures are done in one day. The aim of this study is to determine if Annexin can be used as a marker to detect lung injury early on and aid in the future diagnosis of COPD.
