Hypnosis audio may sharpen lung cancer scans
NCT ID NCT07334990
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether listening to a hypnotic audio recording during a 4D CT scan can reduce image artifacts (blurring or distortions) for 25 adults receiving lung cancer radiation therapy. Participants will have scans with and without the recording to compare quality. The goal is to make scans clearer and more reliable for treatment planning.
