Comparison of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopic localization and computed tomographic imaging-guided methylene blue localization in the resection of pulmonary nodules: a retrospective cohort study
ENB localization success rates are comparable to CT-guided methods, but ENB carries lower risks, particularly for puncture-related complications. CT-guided localization is more effective than ENB for lower lobe nodules.
