Using CT scans to tell benign from malignant lung nodules
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a lung nodule less than 5 cm in size.
- You have had a chest CT scan within the last year.
- Your CT scan images are clear and not affected by blurring or other artifacts (noise).

This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze CT scans of lung nodules that look like ground glass, which may be early signs of cancer. The goal is to predict how these nodules will grow over time, helping doctors decide whether to monitor or treat them.
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.
This study uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help doctors analyze lung nodules seen on CT scans, with the goal of improving diagnosis and follow-up. It may help people who have a lung nodule that needs monitoring or clarification.
This study uses CT scans and medical records to build a model that helps tell whether a solid lung nodule is benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). It aims to improve diagnosis and guide treatment decisions for people with these nodules.
This study is testing a new method to help tell whether a lung nodule is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). It is for people who already need a biopsy or surgery for their lung nodule.
This study tests a computer tool that uses patterns from your chest CT scan to help assess an unclear lung nodule. It may help doctors decide which nodules need closer attention.
