Test a new CT scan method for lung cancer radiation planning
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a real-time, breathing-adapted CT scan (called 4DCT) can be done safely and work well for planning radiation treatment for lung cancer. It may help make radiation planning more accurate while checking if the scan process is practical for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You can understand the study and sign an informed consent form
- You have lung cancer and your care team plans to treat it with radiation
- Your radiation plan includes getting a 4DCT scan for treatment planning
- You are not currently pregnant

This study tests a special imaging-guided radiation plan that aims to treat lung cancer while reducing radiation to healthy lung tissue. It may help lower lung side effects while keeping the cancer treatment focused on tumor areas.
This trial tests whether special “4D” MRI scans can improve precision radiation planning for people with lung or liver cancer. You may get MRI scan data to better account for tumor movement, alongside your usual radiation treatment.
This trial compares a new type of imaging scan (SPECT/CT) to the standard PET/CT scan to see if it can help diagnose and monitor lung cancer just as well. If you have lung cancer and are about to start treatment, you may be able to join to help test this new method.
This study tests whether people at higher risk for lung cancer can be safely screened using regular chest CT scans. You might benefit from closer monitoring, and the study helps doctors learn the best way to catch lung cancer earlier.
This study tests new imaging methods to make lung cancer screening safer and more accurate. If you are already getting a low-dose CT scan for lung cancer screening, you may also receive an MRI to help better understand any lung spots (nodules) found.
This study tests whether 3D models made from non-contrast CT scans are accurate enough to guide minimally invasive lung segmentectomy (removing a small piece of the lung) for early-stage lung cancer. It may help certain patients avoid the need for contrast dye.
