Spectrum Analysis in Ex-vivo Human Lungs

Spectrum Analysis of Endobronchial Ultrasound Radiofrequency of Lung Tumors in Ex-vivo Human Lungs

This study will analyze spectral features of the radiofrequency of lung tumors in ex-vivo human lungs. The resected specimens will be evaluated using the spectrum analysis to determine the localization rate of the targets. Ultrasound measurement and images will be used for correlation of TS mode image findings with pathology by using HE and IHC slides of lung tumor and lymph node.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Any patients scheduled for lobectomy of anatomical segmental resection for malignant lung tumors.
• 18 years of age or older

Exclusion Criteria:

• Any patients with inability to give informed consent.
