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 trial uses advanced CT and MRI scans to make lung cancer screening more accurate and safer. It aims to better find and understand lung nodules, helping doctors decide if they are cancerous without unnecessary procedures.
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 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 trial uses a new, non-invasive way to screen for lung cancer by combining your breath, blood, and CT scan images. The goal is to figure out whether a nodule found on a CT scan is cancerous or not, which could help patients avoid unnecessary procedures.
