“…On the left side, we performed intraoperative tumor localization using radiofrequency identification technology and placed a marker via bronchoscopy. 2 , 5 The marker is shown as the purple point in the 3D-CT images. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful.…”

“…Implantable devices are being developed that can be placed near the lesion of interest (via bronchoscopy or CT-guided delivery), and then a probe can aid in the detection of the device during surgery to localize this area. A radiofrequency identification (RFID) marking system has been used at Kyoto University with some success [ 7 ]. A very small chip is placed in close proximity to the lesion of interest by CT-guided bronchoscopy, and then wedge resection is performed.…”

Lung nodule and ground-glass opacity localization for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes is often a challenge for thoracic surgeons. While there are several adjuncts and techniques in the surgeon’s armamentarium that can be helpful, accurate localization persists as a problem without a perfect solution. The last several decades have seen tremendous improvement in our ability to perform major operations with minimally invasive procedures and resulting lower morbidity. However, technological advances have not been as widely realized for lung nodule localization to complement minimally invasive surgery. This review describes the latest advances in lung nodule localization technology while also demonstrating that more efforts in this area are needed.

“…For subcentimeter nodules deep to the visceral pleura surface by >5 mm, the probability of localization failure is 63%. 1 Resection failure increases with tumors farther from the pleura. 2 The challenges of localizing and reliably measuring surgical margin depth—especially for those deeper tumors—have led to thoracic surgeons operating on the lung to function much like explorers without an adequate map, sextant, or compass sophisticated enough to match the needs required to circumnavigate the globe.…”

“…In this issue of the JTCVS Techniques , Yutaka and colleagues 1 describe their bronchoscopic deployment of a radiofrequency identification (RFID) marker in a hybrid operating suite using cone-beam computed tomography immediately before surgery to enable precise wedge resections of small and deep lung lesions. Intraoperatively, the point on the pleura closest to the marker was identified by following tone changes corresponding to the probe-marker distance, and then 3-dimensional coordinates were established while triangulating the lesions after elevating the previously identified pleural point.…”
