CTP Imaging of Lung Cancer

Completed

Conditions studied: Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

In brief

Investigators hope to learn more about how to use computed tomography (CT) scans to measure blood flow in lung tumors and how it may change in response to treatment. This measurement technique is called computed tomography perfusion (CTP). CT scanners use X-rays to produce 3-dimensional images of the body. Currently, doctors determine the response to treatment by measuring the size of the tumor. Investigators are trying to find out if measuring the blood flow in the tumor is equal to or better than measuring the size of the tumor.
