Ultralow dose computed tomography protocol for hook‐wire localization of solitary pulmonary nodules prior to video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery

Abstract

This study prospectively investigated the efficacy and radiation dose of ultralow dose computed tomography (CT)‐guided hook‐wire localization (HWL) at 100 kV with tin filtration (100Sn kV) for small solitary pulmonary nodules.
