New navigation tech could make lung surgery more precise
NCT ID NCT07595120
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a new electromagnetic navigation system to standard CT scans for guiding surgeons to small lung nodules during surgery. About 400 adults with nodules up to 2 cm will be randomly assigned to one method. The goal is to see which approach helps surgeons find and remove the nodules more accurately.
