Testing a new X-ray tool for lung biopsies
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a mobile 4D CT scanner to help doctors see and biopsy lung nodules more clearly. It aims to make the procedure safer and more accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- A CT scan has shown a spot in your lung that needs a biopsy.
- The spot is larger than 8mm but not bigger than 50mm.
- You understand the study and agree to join by signing a form.
- You are healthy enough for a bronchoscopy (lung scope) and do not have severe heart or lung problems.

This study compares two types of needles used in a CT-guided lung biopsy to see which one is better at diagnosing lung nodules. The trial aims to find a more accurate and safe way to obtain tissue samples from peripheral lung nodules, which could help guide treatment decisions.
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 looks at how well robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, combined with a quick tissue check called rapid onsite evaluation (ROSE), helps get good samples for genetic testing. It may help people who need a lung biopsy to find the best treatment options.
This trial tests a new way to look at spots in the outer part of the lung using a special dye and a tiny camera during a bronchoscopy. It may help doctors see if the spot is cancer or not without needing a larger surgery.
This trial tests a special light device used during a lung airway exam (bronchoscopy) to help doctors see and biopsy growths more clearly. It might help people who are already scheduled for a bronchoscopy because of a spot on their chest x-ray or CT scan.
This study tests a special bronchoscopy technique called SD-RAB to biopsy small lung nodules found on a CT scan. The goal is to see if this method can safely diagnose these nodules without surgery.
