Objective: Interactive three-dimensional virtual models of pulmonary structures (3D-CT) may
improve the safety and accuracy of robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS). The aim of this …

Simple Summary Due to the increasing incidence of early-stage lung cancer and the
demand for less invasive surgeries, sublobar resections are rapidly increasing in the field of …

Background Anthropomorphic phantoms are used in surgical planning and intervention.
Ideal accuracy and high efficiency are prerequisites for its clinical application. We aimed to …

Background There has been an increasing trend toward pulmonary segmentectomies to
treat early-stage lung cancer, small intrapulmonary metastases, and localized benign …

Recent strides have allowed the consolidation of routine imaging modalities with highly
accurate reconstruction software to aid the operating surgeon generate patient-specific three …

The development of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) has promoted three
dimensional (3D) images of lung structures. It is possible to see the vascular and bronchial …
