1 Usefulness and complications of computed tomography-guided lipiodol marking for fluoroscopy-assisted thoracoscopic resection of small pulmonary nodules: Experience with 174 nodules  Ken-ichi Watanabe, MD, Hiroaki Nomori, MD, PhD, Takashi Ohtsuka, MD, PhD, Masahiro Kaji, MD, PhD, Tsuguo Naruke, MD, PhD, Keiichi Suemasu, MD, PhD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 132, Issue 2, Pages (August 2006) DOI: /j.jtcvs Copyright © 2006 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 A, Computed tomographic (CT) scan showing a nodule with ground-glass opacity (GGO) in the left lower lobe. *The shortest distance from the nodule to the thoracic wall was selected as the injection site. The several lines on the chest wall reveal the metal wires of scaled-paper. (B) CT showing the tumor marked with lipiodol. C, Intraoperative fluoroscopic imaging showing the radiopaque nodule grasped within a ring-shaped forceps. The nodule is indicated with an arrow.
