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 two-step nuclear imaging scan (SPECT/CT) versus a PET/CT scan to see which works better for lung cancer. It may help guide doctors on the most useful imaging approach before you start lung-cancer treatment.
This study looks at whether adding a PET/CT scan helps doctors better understand and treat lung cancer. It might help you if you have been diagnosed with lung cancer and have not had another cancer or serious health issues.
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 compares two types of scans (a special PET/CT called F-18 FDG and regular CT) to see how well they show the extent of non-small cell lung cancer before any treatment starts. It may help doctors choose the right approach for your care.
