Abstract
Fifteen patients underwent computed tomography (CT)-guided contrast material localization of pulmonary nodules, with barium and indigo carmine stain used in five patients, iodized oil and indigo carmine stain in five, and water-soluble contrast material and indigo carmine stain in five before fluoroscopy-assisted thoracoscopic resection. Contrast material localization was successful in all cases, and the surgeon confirmed accurate localization, CT-guided contrast material localization is simple and useful for thoracoscopic resection.
