Abstract:
Herein, we describe a Dyna-computed tomography-guided electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy technique aimed at localizing deep pulmonary nodules. The method was implemented in a hybrid operating room and required the use of 2 markers (a near-infrared dye as a surface marker and a microcoil as a deep marker).
