Feasibility of RUS Lung in MITS

The RUS Lung is an endoscopic imaging treatment planning software program. It creates a patient-specific simulation of the thoracic surgical environments, allowing for the visualization of tumor, bronchovascular structures and thoracic organs during the surgical planning process and the operation. RUS Lung utilizes preoperative CT images of the patients to segment tumor, organs, blood vessels, and bronchus and reconstructs them into a 3D model. Although there is no direct intervention on the patient, the surgeon uses RUS Lung as a surgical navigation tool to simulate the surgery before performing the actual procedure.
