Lung MRI with synthetic CT for monitoring lung nodules
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using an MRI combined with a special type of CT scan can effectively monitor lung nodules over time. It may help people at high risk for lung cancer avoid repeated radiation from regular CT scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 55 and 74 years old
- You have a high risk of lung cancer due to smoking (at least 30 pack-years or quit less than 15 years ago)
- You have at least one solid lung nodule that is 5 mm or larger on a recent scan
- You are able and willing to attend all scheduled visits and tests
- You have health insurance and can sign a consent form

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.
This study looks at lung nodules found on CT scans. Researchers will collect data from your breathing tests and CT scans to better understand how these nodules relate to lung cancer.
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.
This trial follows people with lung nodules over time, using blood and tissue samples to look for metabolic changes that may help understand lung cancer better. If you have a lung nodule found on a CT scan and can safely do lung function tests, this study may be a fit.
This study uses a special MRI scan with xenon gas to see how radiation therapy affects your lungs. It may help doctors better understand treatment response and side effects.
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.
