Virtual thoracoscopic imaging-assisted pleural marking of pulmonary nodules.

Conclusions: Our pleural marking, using a virtual thoracoscopic image, identified the tumor location with high accuracy, may help surgeon to confirm whether the palpated nodule is the target one. This new procedure can assist in the localization of the pulmonary nodule with ease of application, safety, and accuracy. PMID: 32944326 [PubMed]
