Real-Time CT feedback during lung surgery could reduce repeat operations

This study tests whether a CT scan done right after removing a lung nodule can help surgeons decide if they need to remove more tissue. Currently, doctors only know if the cancer was fully removed after the surgery, when a pathologist checks the sample. By giving surgeons immediate feedback, this approach aims to lower the chance of cancer coming back and avoid extra treatments. About 80 adults scheduled for lung cancer surgery will take part, and surgeons will answer questionnaires about how helpful the CT information was.
