Low-dose CT scans for lung biopsy
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to take CT images during a lung biopsy that uses less radiation. It aims to make the procedure safer and clearer for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a lung biopsy guided by CT scan
- Your doctor says you are healthy enough for the biopsy
- You agree to sign a consent form
- You do not have metal implants that could affect the scan
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This study compares two ways to biopsy small lung nodules: a robot-assisted scope through the airways or a needle guided by CT scan. If you have a small lung nodule (2 cm or less) that needs testing, participation may help determine which approach is better.
This trial uses a simple blood test to look at certain genetic markers that may help doctors decide if a lung nodule is cancerous or not. It is designed for people who have a lung nodule that needs further testing like a biopsy or surgery.
This trial is testing whether low-dose CT scans can help find lung cancer early in people at high risk because of their smoking history. If you join, you will get a special type of chest scan that may help catch lung cancer sooner, when it's easier to treat.
This study tests a new 3D X-ray imaging technique used during a lung biopsy to help doctors see the spot more clearly and guide the biopsy more precisely. It may make the procedure faster and more accurate for people with spots in the outer parts of the lungs.
This study uses an AI computer program to help doctors read low-dose CT scans of the chest to find lung cancer early. It is for people at higher risk due to family history, smoking, or general health check-ups.
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.
