The technique of injecting lipiodol using bronchoscopy under fluorescent guidance was feasible in a pig model. We can apply the guide sheath through bronchoscopy under fluoroscope inspection. Lipiodol can be used as a light diffuser for the peripheral lung tumor PDT model. No severe lethal acute lung injury was caused by this PDT model under careful manipulation. Additional studies evaluating the dose correlation of the photosensitizer and light are needed.
