Smart radiation: new scan aims to spare healthy lungs during cancer treatment
NCT ID NCT04676828
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a SPECT scan to map healthy, working lung tissue can help doctors aim radiation away from those areas during treatment for advanced lung cancer. The goal is to reduce lung damage and side effects like breathing problems. About 90 people with lung cancer who are getting radiation with or without chemotherapy will take part.
