Real-time laser imaging for lung tissue during surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new laser imaging device that works with artificial intelligence to quickly analyze lung tissue during surgery. The goal is to see if it can give as accurate results as the standard method, which could help surgeons make faster decisions during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a suspicious lung spot, nodule, or tumor seen on a scan.
- You are scheduled for lung surgery to remove it (wedge, segment, lobe, etc.).
- The doctor will take a small piece of tissue during the operation for a quick lab test.
- You have not had chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy for this problem before surgery.
- You agree to let the research team also examine the tissue with a new laser imaging tool.

This study tests a new way to take a small sample of tissue from a lung spot using a special camera and freezing technique. It aims to make the diagnosis process safer and more effective.
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 study tests a new microscope that quickly analyzes lung tissue during a bronchoscopy or surgery. It may help doctors make faster, more accurate decisions about your care.
This trial tests a special imaging tool that helps surgeons see lung cancer tissue during surgery, so they can remove it more completely. It may help people having surgery to remove a lung tumor.
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 treat small lung cancers during a scope procedure, followed by surgery. The treatment uses freezing and heat to destroy the tumor, and the study checks how safe and effective it is.
