Experimental: VATS resection with J-bar
Each patient with a lung nodule meeting criteria will undergo a lung resection which could be one of three approaches: iVATS with Dyna-CT, VATS, or open. Each approach will use a the experimental device the Lung Resection Marker Locator Kit

Device: lung resection with Lung Resection Marker Locator Kit
Nodules eligible for surgical resection using the Lung Resection Marker Locator Kit |
- To compare the measurements from the J-bar fiducial to the first staple line obtained by the device in vivo to that performed in the frozen section room on the lung specimen obtained (which includes both the J bar and the staple line). [ Time Frame: 1 day ]device feasibility
- whether coefficient is needed [ Time Frame: 1 day ]To determine whether a coefficient needs to be defined to harmonize the distance measured with the device to that found by pathologists
- time required for device placement [ Time Frame: 1 day ]3. To determine the length of time needed for the placement of the device and record measurements.
- demonstrate safe surgical remove of lung nodule [ Time Frame: 30 day ]no increased surgical morbidity from the operation

Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Males or females aged 21 years or older as it is extremely rare for younger people to be at risk for lung cancers.
- Be deemed candidates for the lung resection surgery, which will be determined by their treating Thoracic Surgeon (also a physician investigator)
- Have lesions that are nodules/GGO or other abnormal opacity that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension using conventional techniques
- Seen at BWH Thoracic Surgery outpatient clinics or as inpatient (Note: Subjects will be formally consented to the study at BWH only)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Female subjects pregnant or breastfeeding
- Subjects with a pacemaker or equivalent devices (AICD) due to the use of electromagnetic tracking generator.
