Brief summary

In the coming years, an increase in lung nodule resection is expected, particularly in Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). In some situations, it is necessary to use a device for locating these nodules. Meanwhile, the Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a tool whose use is constantly spreading.

Detailed description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of using intraoperative CBCT to develop a new procedure for intraoperative localization of pulmonary nodules in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Interventions

PROCEDURECBCT acquisition

Acquisitions are performed with the DynaCT function of a C-arm Artis Zeego System® device

PROCEDUREAnesthesia and surgery

The anesthesia and surgery will take place according clinical routine practice

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Assessment of CBCTthe day following the acquisitionAbility to identify the lesion on CBCT images of unventilated lung. CBCT images are interpreted by 2 senior surgeons.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Feasibility of CBCTAt the end of the surgeryNumber of patient excluded because of an inability to achieve CBCT acquisition, whatever the reason.
Assessment of global image qualitythe day following the acquisitionAssessment of image quality is based on an open label interpretation of CBCT images by two senior surgeons who score images from 0 (uninterpretable) to 10 (same quality as CT images)
Assessment of image quality of lesionsthe day following the acquisitionAssessment of image quality depending on the type of lesion and their location. Interpretation of CBCT images are performed by two senior surgeons who score images from 0 (uninterpretable) to 10 (same quality as CT images)
