Ultra-wideband Localization of Pulmonary Nodules During Thoracoscopic Surgery

Lung cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer-related death worldwide. It is usually detected by CT or MRI and removed through thoracoscopic surgery. However, during the surgery, the lung collapses and a new determination of the position of the pulmonary nodule is necessary which is particularly challenging in the case of minimally invasive surgeries when palpation is not possible.
