Better imaging during bronchoscopy biopsy for lung lesions
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special camera light (red dichromatic imaging) to see if it improves visibility during biopsies of abnormal lung growths. It may help doctors get clearer images and perform safer biopsies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a visible abnormal growth or spot in your airway that needs a biopsy
- You can give permission (informed consent) to join the study
- You do not have any serious lung or heart condition that makes bronchoscopy risky
- You are not on blood-thinning medication that cannot be safely paused for 5 days before the procedure

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a special light device used during a lung airway exam (bronchoscopy) to help doctors see and biopsy growths more clearly. It might help people who are already scheduled for a bronchoscopy because of a spot on their chest x-ray or CT scan.
This trial tests if a special microscope (confocal laser endomicroscopy) used during a bronchoscopy can help doctors see and diagnose suspicious lung spots more clearly. It may help you if you have a small-to-medium sized spot in your lung that needs a biopsy.
This trial is testing a new imaging technology that uses artificial intelligence to help doctors quickly identify lung cancer during a standard bronchoscopy procedure. If you are scheduled for a lung biopsy to check for cancer, this study may help improve detection speed and accuracy.
This study compares two advanced imaging methods (CLE and ROSE) used during a bronchoscopy to check lung samples right away. The goal is to see which technique better helps doctors get a clear diagnosis from a small lung nodule.
This study uses a special eye-like scanning camera (full-field optical coherence tomography) to look at tiny lung tissue samples taken during routine bronchoscopy. It may help doctors learn more from small biopsies used to diagnose or stage lung problems.
This trial tests a new, special microscope that fits on a bronchoscope to see lung cells in real time. It may help doctors quickly tell if a lung nodule is cancer during the procedure.
