New slim scope aims for better lung views
NCT ID NCT04745962
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a thinner version of a standard bronchoscopy scope to see if it could better visualize lung nodules. 51 adults with lung nodules took part. The main goal was simply to see if the scope could spot the nodule, not to treat it.
