New microscope probe for lung lesion diagnosis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new microscope probe called CelTouch that doctors can use during a lung biopsy to see cells in real time, which may help diagnose lung lesions more accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a lung spot (lesion) found on a CT scan, and a biopsy is planned.
- A CT scan shows a clear airway leading to the spot so the biopsy tool can reach it.
- You are able to understand and agree to participate by signing a consent form.
- You do not have health issues that make general anesthesia or bronchoscopy risky, such as severe bleeding problems, liver or kidney failure, or pregnancy.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a special biopsy method called cryobiopsy, which uses cold to collect tissue samples from lung spots seen on CT scans. It aims to see how safe and effective this method is for diagnosing these spots.
This study compares two advanced imaging methods (CLE and ROSE) used during a bronchoscopy to check lung samples right away. The goal is to see which technique better helps doctors get a clear diagnosis from a small lung nodule.
This study tests a new way to take a small sample of tissue from a lung spot using a special camera and freezing technique. It aims to make the diagnosis process safer and more effective.
This study tests a new microscope that quickly analyzes lung tissue during a bronchoscopy or surgery. It may help doctors make faster, more accurate decisions about your care.
This trial tests if a special microscope (confocal laser endomicroscopy) used during a bronchoscopy can help doctors see and diagnose suspicious lung spots more clearly. It may help you if you have a small-to-medium sized spot in your lung that needs a biopsy.
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.
