Can 3D ultrasound replace CT scans for lung lesions?
NCT ID NCT07574255
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study will enroll 300 people with suspected lung lesions to see if 3D ultrasound can measure them as accurately as CT scans. Participants will undergo both ultrasound and CT imaging, and researchers will compare the results. If the 3D ultrasound works well, it could offer a safer, radiation-free way to track lung disease over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a radiation-free way to monitor lung lesions over time, improving patient comfort and safety.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The 3D ultrasound may not match CT accuracy, and results may not apply to all lung conditions.
