This study investigated whether radiomic features extracted from radial‐probe endobronchial ultrasound (radial EBUS) images can assist in decision‐making for subsequent clinical management in cases with indeterminate pathologic results. We demonstrated a radiomics‐added, malignancy prediction model that can categorize lesions with nondiagnostic lung ...

Usefulness of endocytoscopy in evaluating transbronchial biopsy specimens
Endocytoscopy is an imaging method that provides the nuclei of lesions in real‐time. We assessed the endocytoscopy for the diagnosis of transbronchial biopsy specimens during bronchoscopy, and endocytoscopy imaging may be useful for the two‐class diagnosis of malignant or non‐malignant transbronchial biopsy specimens. Abstract Background Endocytoscopy (

KST-Mixer: Kinematic Spatio-Temporal Data Mixer For Colon Shape Estimation [PDF]
We propose a spatio-temporal mixing kinematic data estimation method to estimate the shape of the colon with deformations caused by colonoscope insertion. Endoscope tracking or a navigation system that navigates physicians to target positions is needed to reduce such complications as organ perforations.

Features of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy‐diagnosed fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis
This study describes the clinical and pathological features of fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis diagnosed with transbronchial lung crybiopsy. Usual interstitial pneumonia was the most frequent pathological finding of fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Airway Label Prediction in Video Bronchoscopy: Capturing Temporal Dependencies Utilizing Anatomical Knowledge [PDF]
Purpose: Navigation guidance is a key requirement for a multitude of lung interventions using video bronchoscopy. State-of-the-art solutions focus on lung biopsies using electromagnetic tracking and intraoperative image registration w.r.t. preoperative CT scans for guidance.

ESFPNet: efficient deep learning architecture for real-time lesion segmentation in autofluorescence bronchoscopic video [PDF]
Lung cancer tends to be detected at an advanced stage, resulting in a high patient mortality rate. Thus, much recent research has focused on early disease detection Bronchoscopy is the procedure of choice for an effective noninvasive way of detecting early manifestations (bronchial lesions) of lung cancer.

Bronchoscopic video synchronization for interactive multimodal inspection of bronchial lesions [PDF]
With lung cancer being the most fatal cancer worldwide, it is important to detect the disease early. A potentially effective way of detecting early cancer lesions developing along the airway walls (epithelium) is bronchoscopy. To this end, developments in bronchoscopy offer three promising noninvasive modalities for imaging bronchial lesions: white ...

Potential impact of contaminated bronchoscopes on novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients
To the Editor — During the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, critically ill patients may require therapeutic bronchos-copy or sample collection via bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), which involves using a bronchoscope to flush lungs with saline ...
