PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess the feasibility of developing an anatomical model to predict the location of the tumor in a deflated lung to assist in guidance during lung surgery.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Develop a registration technique to register the tumor onto the 2D/3D optical image obtained during surgery.
II. Determine the accuracy of mapping major segmental vasculature and bronchial structures onto 2D/3D optical images obtained during surgery.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo 4 CT scans during standard of care surgery.
Age
18–any

Healthy volunteers
Not accepted
You may be eligible if
Patients must have previous CT images demonstrating a lung mass or masses amenable to lung resection (open or minimally invasive)
Patient is scheduled for surgical resection in a room equipped with intraoperative CT
Patient must sign informed consent, with risks and benefits of CT imaging explained
Patients with lung tumors \>= 1cm to =\< 3 cm based on preoperative CT scan. (Patients with lung tumors from \< 1 cm or \> 3 cm will be reviewed and approved for inclusion on an individual assessment by clinical collaborators)
You may not be if
Pediatric patients less than 18 years of age
Patients who have undergone previous ipsilateral thoracic surgery, sclerotherapy, or radiation therapy as intraoperative adhesions may limit lung collapse intraoperatively
