Brief Title: Application of 3D Printing Technique in Small Pulmonary Nodule Localization
Official Title: Three-Dimensional Printing of Navigational Template in Localization of Small Pulmonary Nodule: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Non-inferiority Trial
Study ID: NCT02952261
Brief Summary: The trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three-dimensional printed navigational template in the clinical application of small peripheral lung nodule localization.
Detailed Description: Localization of small lung nodule is challenging due to the difficulty of nodule recognition during VATS. A three-dimensional printed navigational template was designed to aid percutaneous lung nodule localization, and its feasibility has been confirmed in previous study. The trial was conducted to confirm the non-inferiority of template-guided method to conventional CT-guided method in terms of localization accuracy.
