Extended reality for locating lung nodules during surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using extended reality (a 3D imaging technology) during a CT scan helps doctors precisely locate and remove small lung nodules during a minimally invasive surgery. If you have a small nodule in the outer part of your lung, this approach might make your surgery more accurate and safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a lung nodule smaller than 2 centimeters.
- The nodule is located in the outer third of your lung, which makes it reachable for a small surgical tool.
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove only the nodule (not a whole lung lobe).

This study tests if using a special 3D technology called extended reality (XR) helps doctors find small lung nodules before surgery. It might make the surgery more precise and improve outcomes for people with small nodules in the outer part of the lung.
This trial tests whether extended reality (XR) technology can help surgeons more precisely plan and perform bypass surgery for people with moyamoya disease or blocked carotid arteries. It may make the procedure safer and more effective.
This trial tests a new way to guide lung surgery by using a 3D map of the lung's natural zones (watersheds) to find the best spot to remove a small lung nodule. It aims to help doctors remove just the right amount of lung tissue while preserving as much healthy lung as possible.
This study tests a new way to help surgeons remove lung cancer more precisely using virtual reality and a special dye. It might help ensure the cancer is fully removed while saving as much healthy lung as possible.
This study tests whether using special XR (extended reality) technology during PET/CT imaging can help doctors guide the removal of lymph nodes in the neck that have been affected by lung cancer. If you need this surgery, the trial aims to make it more precise and potentially safer.
This study compares two ways of marking a small lung nodule before surgery to remove it. One method uses a CT scan to guide a needle into the lung before surgery, and the other method finds the nodule during the operation itself. The goal is to see which method is safer and more accurate.
