New chest X-ray technique for lung cancer screening
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of chest X-ray called tomosynthesis to improve lung cancer screening. It looks at people who are getting screened for lung cancer, have a suspicious spot on their lung, or have just been diagnosed—as long as they haven't been treated for lung cancer before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are getting a lung cancer screening or have a suspicious lung nodule.
- You have just been diagnosed with lung cancer and haven't had treatment yet.
- You have not had any previous treatment for lung cancer.

This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze chest X-rays and identify people who may be at high risk for lung cancer and could benefit from a CT screening scan. It's designed for current or former smokers aged 50 to 77 who have had a recent chest X-ray and are not already being checked for lung cancer.
This study tests whether a one-time, low-dose chest CT scan can help find lung cancer early in certain people. You may be invited because of your age and location, and because you have not had recent related testing or symptoms.
This study is testing a new way to help find lung cancer earlier by combining imaging (like CT scans) with a blood test that looks at DNA changes. If you have lung cancer and haven't started treatment yet, participating may help improve future detection methods.
This study tests whether regular low-dose CT scans (a type of X-ray) can find lung cancer early in current or former smokers. Early detection may help catch cancer when it's easier to treat.
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 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.
