First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested a new navigation device called AirWaze, designed to help doctors perform lung biopsies using CT scans. 37 adults with lung lesions underwent a bronchoscopy procedure with the device. The main goals were to see if the device was easy to use and if it could accurately confirm that the biopsy tool reached the right spot, potentially using a lower-dose CT scan.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
AirWaze device (navigation software for bronchoscopy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could make lung biopsies more accurate and reduce radiation exposure during the procedure.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed usability study with only 37 participants. It does not test whether the device improves patient outcomes, only that it is easy to use and accurate for confirming tool placement.
