The method of locating pulmonary nodules before operation plays a crucial role in the surgery of pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs). However, the methodologies surrounding intraoperative localization remains limited, with the majority procedures requiring specific additional equipment. We report a new approach in locating pulmonary GGNs by image-localized body surface marking intraoperative (IBMI) localization.
