Magnetic resonance imaging for suspicious lung nodules
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI scan to better understand suspicious lung nodules found on CT scans. It may help you and your doctor make a more informed decision about next steps, without needing a biopsy right away.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 80 years old.
- You have a history of heavy smoking (at least 20 pack-years) and either still smoke or quit less than 15 years ago.
- Your recent low-dose CT scan found a suspicious nodule that was labeled Lung-RADS 4.
- You are willing and able to have an MRI scan (no metal implants that are unsafe for MRI, and no severe claustrophobia).
- You do not need home oxygen and have not had a lung infection in the past 4 weeks.

This study uses special computer analysis of CT scan images to help tell whether lung nodules (small growths) are harmless (benign) or cancerous (malignant). The goal is to help doctors make better decisions about your care without needing more invasive tests.
This study looks at lung “biomarkers” (test results from your nodule/tissue) to better predict risk of cancer coming back and to guide long-term follow-up. It may help doctors choose the best surveillance plan after surgery or other treatment for early, potentially curable lung cancer.
This study tests new imaging methods to make lung cancer screening safer and more accurate. If you are already getting a low-dose CT scan for lung cancer screening, you may also receive an MRI to help better understand any lung spots (nodules) found.
This study tests whether using an MRI combined with a special type of CT scan can effectively monitor lung nodules over time. It may help people at high risk for lung cancer avoid repeated radiation from regular CT scans.
This study looks at lung nodules found on CT scans. Researchers will collect data from your breathing tests and CT scans to better understand how these nodules relate to lung cancer.
This trial uses a new, non-invasive way to screen for lung cancer by combining your breath, blood, and CT scan images. The goal is to figure out whether a nodule found on a CT scan is cancerous or not, which could help patients avoid unnecessary procedures.
