Scan and spot lung nodules with special PET/CT
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a newer PET/CT scan method to detect uncertain (indeterminate) lung nodules more accurately before biopsy or surgery. If you have a small lung nodule that doctors are still unsure about, this could help improve how nodules are found and assessed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can understand the study and sign informed consent
- You have a lung nodule that is “indeterminate” on CT and measures 6–15 mm
- You have a routine 18F-FDG PET/CT scan planned or completed
- Your doctors plan a biopsy or surgery to remove the nodule(s)
- You do not have claustrophobia that would prevent scanning

This study uses a special PET/CT scan to better tell if a lung nodule is non-small cell lung cancer. If you have a solid nodule in your lung that's at least 8 mm and might be cancer, this scan could help get a clearer diagnosis.
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 uses a computer-generated PET scan from your CT scan to help doctors diagnose and plan treatment for non-small cell lung cancer more precisely. It is observational, meaning no new treatments are given—just extra imaging analysis.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special tracer to find lung tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can better detect cancer cells, which may help doctors plan the best treatment for you.
This trial is testing a new radioactive imaging agent that targets a protein called Nectin-4, which is often found on lung tumors. The scan will help doctors see if the tumor is visible and how it spreads, which may guide better treatment decisions for lung cancer patients.
This trial tests a special PET/CT scan to spot early lung cancer by finding specific body processes linked to cancer. It compares scan results in people with lung nodules that are either cancer (lung adenocarcinoma) or likely benign.
