Filter by:Evaluate the clinical utility and early performance of the Cios 3D Mobile Spin in conjunction with the Ion Endoluminal System, to visualize and facilitate the sampling of pulmonary nodules between 1-3 cm via the airway.
The goal of this study is to collect post-market data for the Ion Endoluminal System to understand CT to body divergence.
The study objectives are as follows: - To determine the safety of trial 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose, produced by a new manufacturer, by surveillance for adverse events in patients having Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography scans in a comprehensive program for indications including, but not limited to, oncology, neurology, cardiac and infectious/inflammatory processes. - To determine the efficacy of 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose Positron Emission Tomography in differentiating benign from malignant solitary pulmonary nodules and calculate sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy using pathologic confirmation as the gold standard when available, or greater than 6 month follow up stability on Computed Tomography scan when not. The purpose of performing this clinical trial is to provide local access of 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose to the patients of Newfoundland and Labrador. This product has been offered to patients over the last three years by transporting from facilities outside of the province. There have been significant delays in access and in fact, times where 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose has not been available through this process. This has caused delays and limitations of treatments for patients who rely on Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography scans for diagnosis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a smoking cessation outreach intervention (TeaM OUT) on increasing use of smoking cessation resources in Veterans. The hypotheses are 1) patients included in the TeaM OUT group will have higher accession of cessation services, such as counseling and medication therapies, compared to patients in enhanced usual care and 2) more patients in the TeaM OUT group will have quit smoking at one year after the intervention. Veterans with a recently diagnosed lung nodule who currently smoke will receive the TeaM OUT intervention or Enhanced Usual Care. The TeaM OUT intervention has 2 parts: 1) a letter that a) describes the nodule and the importance of cessation related to the pulmonary nodule (i.e. teachable moment) and b) notification that a Proactive IVR Quit Line will initiate contact and 2) call(s) from the Proactive IVR Quit Line which a) offers smoking cessation resources and b) helps connect the patient to those resources. The enhanced usual care group will receive a letter that provides information about how to contact the IVR Quit Line. The IVR system will track referrals to cessation services. Additional information about smoking status and use of cessation resources will be collected from the electronic health record and surveys. .
This study evaluates the viability and accuracy of preoperative mixed reality technique combined with three-dimensional printing navigational template guided localizing pulmonary small nodules.
Lung cancer is currently one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. In recent years, with the popularity of high-resolution CT, more and more early-stage lung cancers have been found. Anatomic pneumonectomy is gradually popular because it can completely remove lung nodules and preserve lung function to the greatest extent. During the surgery, the precise and rapid determination of intersegmental border is one of the key technologies. Improved inflation-deflation method is currently the most widely used method in clinical practice. Previous studies demonstrated that increasing the concentration of nitrous oxide in mixtures of N2O/O2 will lead to a faster rate of collapse. The rapid diffusion properties of N2O would be expected to speed lung collapse and so facilitate surgery. This study was designed to explore three types of inspired gas mixture used during two-lung anesthesia had an effect on the intersegmental border appearance time during pneumonectomy and its feasibility and safety: 75% N2O (O2: N2O = 1: 3), 50% N2O (O2: N2O = 1: 1), 100% oxygen.
This study will collect retrospective CT scan images and clinical data from participants with incidental lung nodules seen in hospitals across London. The investigators will research whether machine learning can be used to predict which participants will develop lung cancer, to improve early diagnosis.
To assess the variability of semi-automated volume measurements of pulmonary nodules on same-day repeated scans of equal radiation dose from two different CT scanners: One high-end CT scanner with standard spatial resolution (CT1) and one UHRCT scanner (CT2), in patients with known or suspected pulmonary metastases.
Hookwire and microcoil are currently the most widely used localization instruments. Although their success rate is relatively high in preoperative localization attempts, they may lead to consequences that negatively affect patient outcomes, such as pain because of the metal's hardness, localization failure due to wire detachment, and the presence of permanent traces of metal and foreign bodies . To overcome these disadvantages, we designed an absorbable semi-barbed suture to localize small intrapulmonary nodules (patent number: ZL201821444387.X). The results of the previous animal experiments were satisfactory, and it is now necessary to recruit 10 patients for clinical trials.
Fluorescence-navigated thoracoscopic imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) is a novel technique for detection of small pulmonary nodules other than traditional radiography or intraoperative palpation. As a non-targeted fluorescent contrast agent, ICG accumulates in tumors by the enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR), making the lesions fluoresce under fluorescent imaging. However, the optimal dosage and injection time of ICG are still under exploration. Hence, we perform this study in humans made up of four groups to determine the optimal time and dose.
