Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study we attempted to identify the intersegmental planes after ligation of the dominant pulmonary artery using a photodynamic diagnosis endoscope system and a black-light after intravenous injection of vitamin B2. We established this method and proved its feasibility in vivo porcine lung.
