Shear-wave ultrasound test for lung tumors
This trial looks back at people with lung tumors to see how well a special ultrasound measurement (shear-wave elastography) can identify or characterize tumors in the lungs. It may help improve noninvasive imaging in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been included in records from January 2016 to December 2017
- You must have had lung tumors seen on imaging (like scans or X-rays)
- You must be age 20 or older
- You must be able to hold your breath for 5 seconds

This trial tests whether a new deep-learning computer program can better detect liver disease using ultrasound data. It may help improve diagnosis without extra procedures.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound technique (shear-wave elastography) can help guide biopsies to get better samples from the lining around your lungs. It may be an option if you have a build-up of fluid or thickening in that area.
This study uses a special 3D ultrasound technique to check lung problems. It aims to see if this newer imaging method can improve how lung conditions are evaluated. This might lead to more accurate results without extra radiation.
This study compares a lung ultrasound method (shear-wave elastography) with breathing function tests to see how well they match. It may help researchers better understand how to measure lung health using imaging versus breathing tests.
This study tests a special ultrasound technique (elastography) to help tell if chest masses or digestive-tract growths are likely harmless or harmful. This may help doctors decide if a biopsy is needed, making the diagnosis process less invasive.
This study uses a special ultrasound (called shear wave elastography) to measure how hard your breathing muscles work. It aims to see if this technique can help monitor COPD without invasive tests.
