Vibration Response Imaging (VRI) in Patients Who Are Potential Candidates for Surgical Resection

NCT00966511 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 200

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary purpose of the study is to investigate the use of VRI to guide the selection of patients for lung surgery. Perfusion scintigraphy is the current method to assess the fractional contribution of lung function of the remaining lung.

The hypothesis is that VRI can determine quantitative postoperative lung function equally accurately as a quantitative perfusion scan.

PROCEDURE

Lung resection surgery

The study is designed in a way that will not alter the surgeon's decision based on routine assessment of candidates for resection (lobectomy or greater). Namely, the VRI data will be gathered prospectively; however, the analyses using VRI data will be performed retrospectively.
