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 trial tests if a remote-controlled robotic bronchoscope can safely and reliably take tissue samples from hard-to-reach spots in the lung. If you have a suspicious lung nodule that needs a biopsy, this study may help determine whether the robot-based approach works as well as standard bronchoscopy.
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 trial tests a robotic procedure to safely take a sample from and treat small suspicious lung nodules without surgery. It may help patients who cannot or do not want traditional surgery or radiation therapy.
This trial uses a robotic bronchoscope combined with special X-ray imaging (CBCT) to help diagnose lung nodules in people living with HIV. It aims to improve accuracy and safety when sampling suspicious lung spots.
This study tests a new computer-assisted system to help guide a needle biopsy of lung nodules. It aims to make the procedure more precise and safe when a nodule is suspicious for cancer.
