AI-Powered navigation aims to pinpoint tiny lung nodules during surgery
NCT ID NCT07682012
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study tests a device called the LungVision system, which uses artificial intelligence to help surgeons locate small lung nodules during minimally invasive surgery. The system combines CT scans with live X-ray images to guide a tool to the nodule, then injects a dye to mark it for removal. The trial involves 14 adults aged 18 to 65 who are already scheduled for lung nodule surgery, and it measures how often the system successfully finds the nodule, how long it takes, and any complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LungVision System (AI-augmented fluoroscopic navigation device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI-guided navigation could make lung nodule surgery more precise and reduce the need for extra radiation or preoperative procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 14 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The system's accuracy and safety need confirmation in larger trials.
