Summary

The comparison of the CT-guided percutaneous wire localization and CT-guided percutaneous Indigocarmine Blue localization in preoperative detection of pulmonary nodules shows a great advantage of the former. Wire localization allows the detection and thoracoscopic resection even of deeply localized nodules. In the following article we present our experience with both methods and discuss critically the results.
