U.S., July 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07057648) titled 'Shape-Sensing Robotic-Assisted Bronchoscopy for Diagnosis of Peripheral Pulmonary Nodules in Korea' on June 30.
Brief Summary: What is this study about? This study tests a new robotic technology to take tissue samples from lung nodules (small spots in the lungs). Some lung nodules are cancer, but doctors need a tissue sample to know for sure.
What is the problem? Current methods to get tissue from lung nodules only work about 7 out of 10 times. When they don't work, doctors may need riskier procedures.
What is the new technology? The new technology is called robotic bronchoscopy (ssRAB). It uses a robot with special sensors to gui...
