Virtual reality may help surgeons pinpoint tiny lung tumors
NCT ID NCT07434167
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether extended reality (XR) can help doctors more accurately locate small lung nodules during CT scans. About 30 adults scheduled for lung nodule surgery will participate. The goal is to see if XR guidance improves precision and reduces complications.
