Abstract
In patients with parenchymal lung lesions undergoing VATS and wedge resection I-125 seed localisation is a feasible technique. Complication rates are comparable to standard guide-wire localisation. Although I-125 seeds can be positioned under CT-guidance an optimal placement is of utmost importance for VATS wedge resection. Further research is needed to investigate the possible advantages of this technique.
