Feasibility Study of Anatomical Modeling for Image Guided Thoracic Surgery

Study summary

This clinical trial assesses the feasibility of creating a 3 dimensional (D) model of the lung and lung nodule(s) from computed tomography (CT) scan images performed during lung surgery. Unlike solid organs (like the kidney, brain, and liver), the lung changes shape (they inflate when a person breathe in and collapse when they breathe out). This makes it difficult to predict where, exactly, the tumor(s) will be on the lungs during surgery. A 3D model may help surgeons better predict where the location of the tumor(s) will be during surgery.

Public criteria

Who may be able to participate

The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.

Requirements people may need to meetInclusion criteria

Patients must have previous CT images demonstrating a lung mass or masses amenable to lung resection (open or minimally invasive)
Patient is scheduled for surgical resection in a room equipped with intraoperative CT
Patient must sign informed consent, with risks and benefits of CT imaging explained
Patients with lung tumors \>= 1cm to =\< 3 cm based on preoperative CT scan. (Patients with lung tumors from \< 1 cm or \> 3 cm will be reviewed and approved for inclusion on an individual assessment by clinical collaborators)

Reasons someone may not be able to joinExclusion criteria

Pediatric patients less than 18 years of age
Patients who have undergone previous ipsilateral thoracic surgery, sclerotherapy, or radiation therapy as intraoperative adhesions may limit lung collapse intraoperatively
Patients who received neoadjuvant immunotherapy
Women who are pregnant or nursing

Important: This is the sponsor’s public criteria, not a determination of eligibility. The study team must review your individual situation.
