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 tests a new type of imaging scan that uses a special tracer to help doctors see solid tumors more clearly. The scan may help improve how tumors are detected and monitored during treatment.
This trial compares a two-step nuclear imaging scan (SPECT/CT) versus a PET/CT scan to see which works better for lung cancer. It may help guide doctors on the most useful imaging approach before you start lung-cancer treatment.
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 uses a special type of PET/CT scan (called FDG PET/CT) to see if it can predict whether your lung cancer has a specific gene change called EGFR mutation. If you have NSCLC and have already had an EGFR test, this study may help doctors find a less invasive way to check for that mutation in the future.
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.
