Feasibility of Confocal Laser Microscopy (CLM)in the Computed Tomography-guided Needle Biopsy of Pulmonary and Mediastinal Lesions

NCT01979692 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Last updated 2014-05-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The hypothesis of this proposal is that needle confocal laser microscopy (nCLM) may improve the yield of trans thoracic needle biopsy (TTNB) of lung or mediastinal lesions by differentiating between viable and necrotic tissue. This may reduce the number of biopsy attempts and eventually the complication rate of the procedure.
