Laser imaging plus AI for faster lung surgery diagnosis
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new laser imaging tool that works with artificial intelligence to give fast, accurate results during lung surgery. If you are already scheduled to have lung surgery for a suspicious spot, the laser scan will be done on your tissue and compared to the standard frozen section and final lab results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a spot, mass, or suspicious area on your lung seen on a scan (like a CT or X-ray).
- You are going to have lung surgery (removing the spot or a part of your lung).
- During surgery, a fresh piece of your lung tissue can be scanned with a special laser for this study.
- Your doctor already plans to do a 'frozen section' – a quick test of your tissue during surgery – to check if it is cancer.
- After surgery, a final, more detailed tissue analysis (paraffin block) will also be done as part of your regular care.

This study is testing a new, fast digital method to look at lung tumor tissue right after surgery. It aims to help doctors make a more accurate diagnosis and check for important markers that guide treatment, all while you are still in the operating room.
This trial tests a new combination of a special scope (CLE) with a freezing biopsy tool to see if it can better diagnose lung spots found on CT scans. It may help you get a clearer diagnosis with fewer risks.
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 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 studies a new surgical robot that uses only one small opening in the chest to remove a lung segment or lobe. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for patients who need this type of surgery.
This trial tests a special imaging drug (IRDye800CW-nimotuzumab) that may help surgeons better see lung cancer tissue during planned lung surgery. Phase 1/2 looks mainly at safety and how well the imaging works to guide the operation.
