Study Summary

This trial is testing a new way to use cone-beam CT to guide the placement of markers for resection of small pulmonary nodules during VATS.

Who is the study for?

Adults over 18 with lung nodules set for microcoil localization before VATS wedge resection can join. Excluded are those who can't consent, tolerate anesthesia, pregnant individuals, patients with RF-sensitive implants, and severely obese patients.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial is testing the use of Cone-beam CT to place markers in the lungs to guide surgery for removing small pulmonary nodules during VATS. It's part of a program integrating advanced imaging technologies for surgical precision.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While not explicitly listed, potential side effects may include discomfort from the procedure, risks associated with radiation exposure from CT scans, and complications related to marker placement like bleeding or infection.
