First seen Apr 18, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tests whether using a robot to guide a lung biopsy helps doctors get a clearer diagnosis for interstitial lung disease (ILD) compared to the standard method. About 30 adults with suspected ILD will be randomly assigned to one of two biopsy techniques. The goal is to see which approach provides a more definitive tissue sample for diagnosis.
