Abstract Background As the positions and sizes of nodules in synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (SMPLC) patients differ, the development of surgical strategies to maximize long-term survival and preserved postoperative pulmonary function in SMPLC patients for whom surgical resection is an alternative strategy presents challenges. Case presentation We provide a case managed through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) resection using three-dimensional computed tomography lung reconstruction (3D-CTLR) to reconstruct lobes containing pulmonary nodules to preoperatively simulate and intraoperatively guide the extent and method of resection. Conclusion The successful attempt demonstrates a technically simplified, feasible alternative to preoperative plans utilizing less invasive VATS to manage SMPLC.

Future Utility

Computed tomography (CT) is the modality of choice for imaging the thorax and lung structure. In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), it used to recognise the key morphological features of emphysema, bronchial wall thickening and gas trapping. Despite this, its place in the investigation and management of COPD is yet to be determined, and it is not routinely recommended. However, lung CT already has important clinical applications where it can be used to diagnose concomitant pathology and determine which patients with severe emphysema are appropriate for lung volume reduction procedures. Furthermore, novel quantitative analysis techniques permit objective measurements of pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations of the disease. These techniques can give important insights into COPD, and help explore the heterogeneity and underlying mechanisms of the condition. In time, it is hoped that these techniques can be used in clinical trials to help develop disease-specific therapy and, ultimately, as a clinical tool in identifying patients who would benefit most from new and existing treatments. This review discusses the current clinical applications for CT imaging in COPD and quantification techniques, and its potential future role in stratifying disease for optimal outcome.
