1 Identification of Small Lung Nodules: Technique of Radiotracer-Guided Thoracoscopic Biopsy 
Eric L. Grogan, MD, MPH, David R. Jones, MD, Benjamin D. Kozower, MD, Winsor D. Simmons, RN, Thomas M. Daniel, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 85, Issue 2, Pages S772-S777 (February 2008) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2008 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Flow diagram of clinical results from 84 patients selected for radiotracer-guided biopsy. (CT = computed tomography.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , S772-S777DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2008 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Computed tomography (CT)–guided percutaneous placement of technetium 99m macro-aggregated albumin radiotracer near a lung nodule. (A) The arrow on this CT scan points to an 8-mm nodule. (B) The radiologist uses CT fluoroscopy to place the radiotracer near the nodule. (C) The appearance of nodule on prone CT scan, with the long arrow showing track of the needle containing the tracer solution.

4 Fig 3 Radiotracer-guided intraoperative localization. The anesthetized patient is in the lateral decubitus position. The arrow points to the port site used for alternating insertion of the endostapler and the radioprobe.
