Importance Pulmonary nodules are identified in approximately 1.6 million patients per year
in the US and are detected on approximately 30% of computed tomographic (CT) images of …

Background Bronchoscopy is a useful tool for the diagnosis of lesions near central airways;
however, the diagnostic accuracy of these procedures for peripheral pulmonary lesions …

Background The landscape of guided bronchoscopy for the sampling of pulmonary
parenchymal lesions is evolving rapidly. Shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy …

Abstract Background The Robotic Endoscopic System (Auris Health, Inc., Redwood City,
CA) has the potential to overcome several limitations of contemporary guided …

Introduction The sensitivity of suspicious lung nodules biopsied by currently available
techniques is suboptimal. Robotic-assisted navigation bronchoscopy (RANB) is a novel …

Background Navigation bronchoscopy has seen rapid development in the past decade in
terms of new navigation techniques and multi-modality approaches utilizing different …

Objective To determine whether CT-to-body divergence can be overcome to improve the
diagnostic yield of peripheral pulmonary nodules with the combination of shape-sensing …

Bronchoscopic interventions are preferred for sampling suspicious pulmonary lesions as
they have lower complications and can achieve diagnosis and staging in one single …

Guided bronchoscopy offers a minimally invasive and safe method for accessing
indeterminate pulmonary nodules. However, all current guided bronchoscopy systems rely …

For over 150 years, bronchoscopy, especially flexible bronchoscopy, has been a mainstay
for airway inspection, the diagnosis of airway lesions, therapeutic aspiration of airway …
