Improving lung cancer diagnosis with synthetic PET scans
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a computer-generated PET scan from your CT scan to help doctors diagnose and plan treatment for non-small cell lung cancer more precisely. It is observational, meaning no new treatments are given—just extra imaging analysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have non-small cell lung cancer.
- You are already scheduled to have a PET-CT scan and a tissue biopsy.
- You agree to participate and sign a consent form.
- You have no history of other cancers.
- Your scan images are complete and usable.

This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special tracer to find lung tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can better detect cancer cells, which may help doctors plan the best treatment for you.
This trial tests a newer PET/CT scan method to detect uncertain (indeterminate) lung nodules more accurately before biopsy or surgery. If you have a small lung nodule that doctors are still unsure about, this could help improve how nodules are found and assessed.
This trial compares a new type of imaging scan (SPECT/CT) to the standard PET/CT scan to see if it can help diagnose and monitor lung cancer just as well. If you have lung cancer and are about to start treatment, you may be able to join to help test this new method.
This trial uses a special PET/CT scan that targets a protein on some cancer cells to help detect and evaluate malignant tumors. It may help doctors better map tumors before any cancer treatment starts.
This study looks at whether a special PET scan can help predict if lung cancer has a certain gene change (EGFR) that might affect treatment options. It aims to see if the scan can be used instead of a biopsy to find this gene change.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to better tell if a lung nodule is non-small cell lung cancer. If you have a solid nodule in your lung that's at least 8 mm and might be cancer, this scan could help get a clearer diagnosis.
