Summary

This study uses donated human lungs to develop a standard method for a new freezing catheter that can take tissue samples and destroy lung lesions. Researchers will measure ice ball temperatures, freezing times, and tissue sample sizes to find the safest and most effective technique. The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose and treat lung diseases without major surgery.
