Using ultrahigh-frequency ultrasound to detect small lung nodules

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the feasibility of ultrahigh-frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) for detecting ground glass opacities (GGOs) in excised lung tissue. It involves a sequential approach where GGOs are identified through palpation, UHFUS, and open biopsy, with a focus on comparing detection rates and time efficiency. The study also employs Bland-Altman analysis to assess the agreement between tumor sizes measured by CT, UHFUS, and pathology. The aim is to improve the detection of GGOs, which are critical for lung cancer diagnosis and treatment.
