Using 3D models to help lung surgery consultations
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be scheduled for a planned (non-emergency) surgery to remove a lobe or a segment of your lung, usually for a suspected or confirmed lung tumor.
- You must be able to discuss treatment options with your surgeon before surgery.
- You must be able to read, understand, and fill out Chinese questionnaires on your own or with neutral help from the research team.
- You must be willing to provide written informed consent.

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.
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 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 trial tests whether using a 3D model of your airway helps doctors place a breathing tube more precisely during video-assisted lung surgery. It may improve safety and accuracy.
This study uses a computer program to analyze lung function before and after surgery for early-stage lung cancer. It aims to help doctors better predict recovery and plan care.
This trial tests a new way to guide lung surgery by using a 3D map of the lung's natural zones (watersheds) to find the best spot to remove a small lung nodule. It aims to help doctors remove just the right amount of lung tissue while preserving as much healthy lung as possible.
