Interventions
Electromagnetic Navigation-Guided Percutaneous Localization of Pulmonary Nodules
Performed by an experienced thoracic surgeon or interventional radiologist under general or local anesthesia, the procedure is guided by an electromagnetic navigation system. The procedural steps include: 1) preoperative import of the patient's CT data into the navigation system for path planning; 2) intraoperative coupling of the positioning sensor with the puncture instrument; 3) under real-time three-dimensional imaging guidance of the electromagnetic navigation system, performing percutaneous puncture to accurately place a positioning guidewire / microcoil / dye near the target pulmonary nodule; 4) postoperative CT scan to confirm the localization. This is a single-session procedure.
CT-Guided Percutaneous Localization of Pulmonary Nodules
Performed by an experienced thoracic surgeon or interventional radiologist under local anesthesia, the procedure is guided using a CT scanner. The steps include: 1) positioning the patient appropriately and performing a CT scan to determine the puncture site and path; 2) employing CT fluoroscopy or intermittent CT scanning for real-time guidance; 3) under CT image guidance, performing a percutaneous puncture to place a localization guidewire / microcoil / dye near the target pulmonary nodule; 4) performing a repeat CT scan post-procedure to confirm the localization position. This is a single-session procedure.
