Radiation exposure for doctors during robotic lung biopsy
This study measures how much radiation doctors are exposed to while performing a robotic-assisted lung biopsy. It is for doctors who do these procedures and want to help improve safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a doctor who performs a special type of lung biopsy called image-guided robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (using a robot and live X-ray guidance).
- Only one doctor per hospital can join this study.
- The biopsy you plan to do is for routine diagnosis of a single spot in the lung, and it is not a treatment or a procedure to place markers.
- The patient must be 18 years old or older and not pregnant.

This trial uses a robot-assisted bronchoscope to take tissue samples from lung nodules. It may help diagnose lung cancer or other conditions without major surgery.
This study compares two ways to biopsy small lung nodules: a robot-assisted scope through the airways or a needle guided by CT scan. If you have a small lung nodule (2 cm or less) that needs testing, participation may help determine which approach is better.
This study compares two robotic bronchoscopy systems used to examine lung spots or nodules. Participation involves having your scheduled procedure, and researchers will evaluate which system works better.
This trial tests a robotic bronchoscopy system to biopsy small lung nodules that are hard to reach with standard tools. It aims to help diagnose nodules that don't show a clear airway path on CT scans.
This study tests whether a robotic bronchoscope can help place a small mark of green dye (ICG) on lung nodules before surgery, so the surgeon can find and remove them more easily. This may help make the surgery more precise and reduce the chance of leaving some nodule behind.
This study tests a new way to look at lung nodules in people with HIV. A robot-guided tube is used with a special CT scan to take samples from the nodule to see if it is cancer. If you have HIV and a suspicious lung nodule, this might help you get a clear diagnosis.
