Summary

Patients with lung nodules/mass found by CT (computed tomography) or PET (positron emission tomography) who agree to receive lung resection are arranged to test the dielectric property before receiving the frozen pathological examination. And the final pathological results are recognized as the standard diagnosis. Then the sensitivity and specificity of the dielectric property test will be evaluated comparing with the frozen pathological examination.

Conditions

• Lung Nodules
• Lung Mass

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	dielectric property test	Test the dielectric property of resected lung nodules/mass through a touching probe after the lung tissue with nodules/mass has been resected and cut open, which usually takes only 1-5 minutes.
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	frozen pathological examination	And after the dielectric property test, the lung tissue will be sent for frozen pathological examination.
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	final pathological examination	All of the lung nodules/mass will be diagnosed by final pathological examination and recognized as the final diagnosis after surgery.
