Bronchoscopic implantation of a novel wireless electromagnetic transponder in the canine lung: a feasibility study.

Article Synopsis
- A new electromagnetic localization system for lung cancer treatment aims to improve targeted radiation therapy by addressing tumor motion caused by breathing.
- The study involved implanting electromagnetic transponders and gold markers in the lungs of five anesthetized dogs and comparing how well they stayed in place over time.
- Results showed successful implantation rates for both methods, but low fixation rates after 60 days; further work is needed to enhance the stability of the transponders for better cancer treatment outcomes.
