Presumably, this occurs in children because sublobar surgery often does not adhere to anatomical borders (wedge resection instead of segmentectomy), thus increasing the risk of residual disease. This study investigated the feasibility of identifying eligible cases for anatomical segmentectomy by combining virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Semi-automated segmentation of bronchovascular structures and lesions were visualized with VR and AI technology.

Bronchovascular segmentation, volume calculation and image visualization in the VR environment were successful in all cases. Based on the computed tomography images, assignment of the CLA lesion to specific lung segments matched between the consulted specialists in only 1 out of the cases. Based on the three 3D VR images, however, the localization matched in 3 of the 5 cases. If the patients would have been operated, adding the 3D VR tool to the preoperative workup would have resulted in changing the surgical strategy (i.e. lobectomy versus segmentectomy) in 4 cases.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study demonstrated the technical feasibility of a hybridized AI\u2013VR visualization of segment-level lung anatomy in patients with CLA.
