Summary

This study compares a new robotic system to the standard manual method for taking a tissue sample from a lung nodule. About 158 people with suspicious lung nodules will be randomly assigned to either the robot-assisted or manual biopsy. The goal is to see if the robotic system is as safe and effective at getting a clear diagnosis.
