Three-dimensional computed tomography angiography (3D-CTA) aids lung cancer surgery planning. Adding virtual 3D safety margins to 3D-CTA improves segmentectomy precision for small tumors.

Area of Science:

Thoracic Surgery
Surgical Oncology
Medical Imaging

Background:

Preoperative simulation is crucial for lung cancer surgery.
Three-dimensional computed tomography angiography (3D-CTA) is a key imaging modality.
Accurate identification of tumor margins is challenging, particularly for segmentectomy.

Observation:

This study presents two cases of primary lung cancer.
Segmentectomy was performed based on preoperative simulations using 3D-CTA.
Virtual three-dimensional (3D) safety margins were incorporated into the 3D-CTA simulations.

Findings:

The integration of virtual 3D safety margins into 3D-CTA simulations was found to be user-friendly.
This enhanced simulation technique proved beneficial for safely executing segmentectomy.
