Representative example of complex dye localization. (a) An axial CT imaging with lung window during localization showed a 22-gauge Chiba needle introduced tangentially to the RUL part-solid lung nodule (arrow). (b) VATS imaging showed deposition of methylene blue on the RUL lung surface seen on the visceral pleura. The pathology result revealed adenocarcinoma. (c) An axial CT imaging with lung window during localization showed a 22-gauge Chiba needle introduced to the RLL GGN using trasfissural approach (arrow). Using this method, a total of three times of pleural puncture was done. (d) VATS imaging showed deposition of methylene blue on the RLL lung surface seen on the visceral pleura adjacent to right major fissure. The pathology result revealed AAH.
