New Breathing-Smart CT scan aims to sharpen lung cancer radiation
NCT ID NCT05030207
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new type of CT scan that pauses during irregular breathing to get clearer images for lung cancer radiation planning. It involves 30 adults with lung cancer who will receive one extra scan during their usual treatment simulation. The goal is to see if this method reduces image artifacts and is tolerable for patients.
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 improve the accuracy of radiation therapy planning for lung cancer by reducing image artifacts caused by irregular breathing.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 30 participants. The new scan may take longer and might not work well for people with very erratic breathing.
