Feasibility of Mobile-CT-Assisted Bronchoscopy for the Diagnosis of Lung Lesion
Mobile-CT-Assisted Bronchoscopy
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Dec 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study investigates whether using a mobile-CT-assisted bronchoscopy (M-CAB) during a bronchoscopy procedure will better enable the study staff to reach the lung tumor, perform a biopsy, and obtain a diagnosis. One method that doctors use for diagnosing lung tumors is bronchoscopy guided by an X-ray machine (called fluoroscope). Though much better guidance could be provided with a CT scanner when compared to the fluoroscope, the standard CT equipment is very large, fixed in a radiology room, and difficult to use with bronchoscopy. Mobile CT imaging systems may more easily and effectively perform the same tasks of the standard CT imaging in the bronchoscopy room, offering better guidance than the standard fluoroscope.
