Better imaging for lung spots found on scans
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new microscope-like tool that helps doctors see lung spots more clearly during a biopsy. It may help get a more accurate diagnosis with fewer procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have a spot in your lung that was seen on a CT scan.
- Your doctor recommends a biopsy to find out what the spot is.
- You are willing to have the special exam and are OK with the microscope tool.
- You do not have any bleeding problems or take blood thinners that can't be stopped.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are not allergic to the dye used in the test.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 special microscope attached to a bronchoscopy scope that helps doctors see lung tissue in real time. It may help identify whether a lung nodule is cancer more quickly and accurately during the same procedure.
This study tests a new microscope probe called CelTouch that doctors can use during a lung biopsy to see cells in real time, which may help diagnose lung lesions more accurately.
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 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 whether using a special contrast dye during an ultrasound-guided biopsy (EBUS) makes it easier to see and sample lung tumors or swollen lymph nodes. It may help doctors get more accurate tissue samples with fewer tries.
