Overview
Brief Summary
This study is conducted to explore the feasibility and value of Intraoperative ultrasonographic localization of pulmonary nodules in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).
Detailed Description
The study is designed as a single center prospective trial. The participating center is Department of Ultrasound, Shanghai Chest Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China. The study is expected to enroll 200 patients. The feasibility and value of Intraoperative ultrasonographic localization of pulmonary nodules in VATS will be explored. The accuracy rate of localization will be evaluated using gray scale mode and elastography mode. Intraoperative ultrasonographic localization will be performed using an ultrasound system (HI VISON Ascendus), which is equipped with a 5-10MHz mechanical probe (EUP-OL531).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The accuracy rate of localization
Time Frame: one year
The accuracy rate of localization will be evaluated using gray scale mode and elastography mode using pathology as a reference.
Secondary Outcomes
- Correlation of distance between the lesion and pleura and localization(one year)
- Time of localization(one week)
- Correlation of lesion size and localization(one year)
