Feasibility Study of Anatomical Modeling for Image Guided Thoracic Surgery

This clinical trial assesses the feasibility of creating a 3 dimensional (D) model of the lung and lung nodule(s) from computed tomography (CT) scan images performed during lung surgery. Unlike solid organs (like the kidney, brain, and liver), the lung changes shape (they inflate when a person breathe in and collapse when they breathe out). This makes it difficult to predict where, exactly, the tumor(s) will be on the lungs during surgery. A 3D model may help surgeons better predict where the location of the tumor(s) will be during surgery.
