3D modeling before lung surgery to predict lung function
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial uses 3D models from your CT scan to help doctors predict how well your lungs will work after surgery. It is for people having a certain type of lung surgery (VATS) to remove part of a lung.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old.
- You are scheduled for VATS lobectomy or segmentectomy at National Taiwan University Hospital or NTU Cancer Center.
- You can sign a consent form to let researchers use your imaging data.
- You do not have Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

This study tests whether 3D models made from non-contrast CT scans are accurate enough to guide minimally invasive lung segmentectomy (removing a small piece of the lung) for early-stage lung cancer. It may help certain patients avoid the need for contrast dye.
This study tests whether using a personalized 3D model of your lungs before surgery helps you understand your operation and make decisions with your surgeon. It may reduce anxiety and improve communication about your care.
This trial tests whether a computer program that creates a 3D model of your lungs from a CT scan helps doctors plan your lung surgery more precisely. The goal is to make the surgery safer and more effective.
This study tests a new way to help surgeons remove lung cancer more precisely using virtual reality and a special dye. It might help ensure the cancer is fully removed while saving as much healthy lung as possible.
This study looks at how well your lungs work after surgery for lung cancer. It uses special scans and breathing tests to help doctors better predict your recovery.
This trial tests a new way to plan and guide lung cancer surgery using a special dye that shows the tumor area during the operation. It may help surgeons remove the cancer more accurately while targeting only a small section of lung for certain early-stage patients.
