Chest computed tomography (CT) images and intraoperative findings of case 3. a Chest CT identified consolidation in right S6, as shown by a red arrow. b The two images were three-dimensional reconstructions of chest CT findings. In the left image, red and green structures indicate the pulmonary arteries and bronchi, respectively. The yellow ellipse indicates the area of the disease. In the right image, the right lung is separated into four zones by different colors. Red represents the upper lobe, green represents the middle lobe, blue represents the lower lobe, and yellow represents the lesion. The bronchi have been presented as the green branched structure. The image findings implied absence of B6a. c The color change of visceral pleura of S6 was observed, as indicated by red arrows. d The lesion was removed completely at the end of the surgery
