The widespread implementation of low-dose computed tomography screening has led to a substantial rise in the detection of pulmonary nodules,with multiple pulmonary nodules(MPNs)now representing a common clinical presentation.Conventional diagnostic and therapeutic paradigms,characterized by sequential,multi-site processes,are often limited by inefficiency,safety concerns,and suboptimal patient outcomes.In contemporary thoracic surgery,a transformative"one-stop"precision management strategy has emerged within hybrid operating theaters.This integrated approach synergizes intraoperative imaging,advanced navigation,and surgical intervention to address these limitations.Cone-beam CT plays a pivotal role in this model by leveraging its maneuverability,low radiation,and high spatial resolution to greatly facilitate the development of precise diagnosis and treatment for MPNs.
