Ultrasonography for Localization of Subcentimetre Lung Nodules
Localization of deeply, small, non-visible and non-palpable subcentimetre nodules can be difficult during videoassisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and even during minithoracotomy. Linear ultrasound probe helps surgeon find these undetermined nodules by VATS or thoracotomy technique without any need of digital palpation and has been demonstrated a safe and feasible technique alternative to com...
متن کاملAutomated detection of lung nodules in low-dose computed tomography
A computer-aided detection (CAD) system for the identification of pulmonary nodules in low-dose multi-detector computed-tomography (CT) images has been developed in the framework of the MAGIC-5 Italian project. One of the main goals of this project is to build a distributed database of lung CT scans in order to enable automated image analysis through a data and cpu GRID infrastructure. The basi...
متن کاملComputer Aided Detection of Lung Nodules in Multislice Computed Tomography
Early detection may be of critical importance in lung cancer prognosis. Multi-detector Computed Tomography (CT) increases sensitivity in early lung cancer detection by potentially identifying nodules of smaller size. A Computer Aided Detection (CAD) system for automatic identification of lung nodules is proposed. The system is multistage, including segmentation of lung boundaries, initial nodul...
متن کاملThoracoscopic ultrasonography for localization of subcentimetre lung nodules.
OBJECTIVES Localization of small, non-visible and non-palpable subcentimetre nodules can be challenging during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Intraoperative ultrasonography is an option for localization of such lesions, yet this technology has not been fully adapted to thoracic surgery. The objective of this study was to assess a newly developed thoracoscopic ultrasound for locali...
متن کاملComputed tomography-guided localization of small lung nodules before video-assisted resection: experience with an efficient hook-wire system.
The rate of successful video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for resection of pulmonary nodules has improved since the development of radiologic localization techniques. The failure rate has decreased from 45% to 5%.1 Several techniques have been described, including methylene blue injection, hook-wire localization, and combined techniques, but none has proved entirely satisfactory.2-5 We...
