Spectral CT scans for lung cancer detection
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new way to look at CT scans (called spectral imaging) to see if it can better detect lung cancer in people who are suspected of having it. If you are being referred for lung cancer testing, this study may help doctors get clearer information from your scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your doctor suspects you might have lung cancer and referred you to Copenhagen University Hospital for tests.
- You are able to have a CT scan with a special dye (contrast) given into a vein.
- You have not already been diagnosed with lung cancer at another hospital.
- You do not have any other type of cancer that is known or being treated.
- You are healthy enough to receive treatment for lung cancer if needed.

This trial uses a special type of CT scan (spectral CT) to see if it can better guide radiation therapy for cervical cancer. It is for people who are already receiving chemotherapy and radiation together.
This trial uses a special type of CT scan (spectral CT) to see how far breast cancer has spread. The results may help doctors stage the cancer more precisely, which can guide treatment decisions.
This study uses a special type of CT scan (spectral CT with contrast dye) to get a more accurate picture of liver cancer. This may help doctors better understand the stage of the cancer and guide treatment decisions.
This trial uses a special CT scanner to get clearer images of colorectal cancer before treatment, which may help doctors more accurately determine how far the cancer has spread. The goal is to plan the most effective 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 a special CT scan used during procedures to treat tumors, like blocking blood flow or burning the tumor. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly during the treatment.
