Robotic bronchoscopy (RB) has been shown to improve access to smaller and more
peripheral lung lesions, while simultaneously staging the mediastinum. Pre-clinical studies …

Background Robotic bronchoscopy (RB) aims to increase the diagnostic yield of guided
bronchoscopy by providing improved navigation, farther reach, and stability during lesion …

Abstract [Background] Electromagnetically Navigated Bronchoscopy (ENB) is currently the
state-of-the art diagnostic and interventional bronchoscopy. CT-to-body divergence is a …

Background: Image-guided percutaneous thermal ablation is an established treatment
option for early-stage lung cancer in medically inoperable patients but carries a high risk of …

Background: Computed tomography-to-body divergence caused by respiratory motion,
atelectasis, diaphragmatic motion and other factors is an obstacle to peripheral lung …

Background and objective Virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) with fused fluoroscopy
and vessel mapping provides a point of entry (POE) for puncturing airway wall to biopsy …

Background: Robotic-assisted navigation bronchoscopy (RANB) is a novel method to biopsy
lung nodules, with initial reports demonstrating excellent accuracy. We aimed to evaluate …

Background: Navigational bronchoscopy has improved upon traditional bronchoscopy to
identify suspicious pulmonary lesions, but wide variability exists in the diagnostic yield of …

Genomic profiling of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples may be useful for tumor
profiling and diagnosis in the clinic. Here, we compared tumor-derived mutations detected in …

Background: Navigational bronchoscopy is commonly used to sample lung nodules, with a
better safety profile but lower diagnostic yield than computerized tomography-guided …
