Feasibility and efficiency of ultrahigh-frequency ultrasound for intraoperatively localizing early lung cancer presenting as ground-glass opacity in lung tissue: a prospective study
This prospective observational trial supports the use of real-time, noninvasive, and radiation-free UHFUS for the intraoperative localization of GGOs in lung tissue. It has the potential to enhance the efficiency of lung surgery in detecting small tumors and identify new nodules.
