New laser tool may help doctors pinpoint lung nodules during biopsy
NCT ID NCT05231278
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new imaging tool called needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE) to help doctors locate lung nodules during robotic-assisted bronchoscopy. 53 adults with lung nodules at risk for cancer took part. The goal was to see if the tool could safely and accurately confirm that the biopsy needle was in the right spot, potentially improving diagnosis.
