Positron emission tomography was performed, and a significant SUV uptake of 8.9 was observed in the nodule (Figure 1).
Left upper-row red arrow indicates the lesion before ablation, the left lower row demonstrates the lesion sign with radial-EBUS, the right upper-row red arrow indicates the area after two sessions of thermal effect with radiofrequency ablation, and the right lower row demonstrates the lesion sign after the ablation. EBUS, endobronchial ultrasound.

It was decided to have a radial-endobronchial ultrasound with C-ARM for diagnosis with ROSE and convex-endobronchial ultrasound with rapid on-site evaluation for staging (Figure 2).
