This trial is testing whether thermal vapor ablation—a procedure that uses heat to treat lung tissue—can help people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and certain lung nodules. Researchers will use advanced MRI scans to carefully measure whether the heat treatment is working and how it affects lung function over time.
Current treatments for COPD and some lung nodules don't always work well for everyone, and doctors need better ways to assess whether these heat-based procedures are actually helping patients. This study exists to understand whether this newer approach combined with advanced imaging can provide a safer, more effective option.

If you join this study, you will receive either heat ablation treatment for COPD or ablation treatment for a lung nodule (depending on your condition). Before and after the procedure, you will have specialized MRI scans of your lungs to help doctors see how well the treatment is working. The research team will use these advanced imaging techniques to track your progress and measure the effectiveness of the treatment.
