Robot vs. electromagnetic: which lung biopsy method is more accurate?
NCT ID NCT06654271
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study compares two modern methods for taking a tissue sample from a lung nodule: robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with a special 3D X-ray (cone beam CT) versus electromagnetic navigation with a different imaging technique (digital tomosynthesis). The goal is to see which approach more reliably obtains a sample that can confirm a diagnosis. The trial involves 440 adults scheduled for a lung nodule biopsy.
