This trial tests a new method called Longitude-Latitude-Depth (LLD) localization, which uses 3D mapping from a CT scan to guide surgeons to small lung nodules without a needle puncture. It is being compared to the standard CT-guided needle localization in adults with single perip…

This study explores whether a special MRI scan, done without any contrast dye, can tell the difference between benign and cancerous lung nodules that were flagged as suspicious on a routine lung cancer screening CT. Adults aged 50 to 80 with a history of heavy smoking and a Lung-…

This trial compares two FDA-cleared robotic bronchoscopy platforms—Monarch and ION—to see which one better diagnoses suspicious spots in the lungs. About 400 people scheduled for a robotic bronchoscopy will be randomly assigned to one of the two systems. The main question is whic…

This study tests whether adding acupuncture to standard breathing exercises helps people recover lung function after surgery to remove a lung nodule. Half of the 56 participants will get acupuncture plus usual care, while the other half gets usual care alone. Lung function, pain,…

This trial tests two techniques used during lung segment removal surgery to identify the boundary between lung segments. In each participant, both methods—an injected green dye and carbon dioxide gas—are used during the same operation, and the borders they identify are compared. …
