VIRTUAL BRONCHOSCOPY

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1999
Three-dimensional endoluminal tracheobronchial simulations can be derived successfully from thoracic helical CT scans, and can reproduce the appearances of major endobronchial abnormalities confirmed during FB. The prospects of ever-faster CT scanners (capable of submillimeter resolution) merged with greater computer power make it likely that current ...

Flexible Bronchoscopy

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2013
Although bronchoscopy technology continues to evolve at a fairly rapid pace, basic procedures, such as bronchoalveolar lavage, transbronchial lung biopsy, and transbronchial needle aspiration, continue to play a paramount role in the diagnosis of bronchopulmonary diseases. Pulmonologists should be trained in these basic bronchoscopic procedures.

Black Bronchoscopy

Chest, 2013
A presence of black pigmentation involving the endobronchial tree is not uncommon. It was first described in the literature in association with occupational exposure in the early 1940s. However, in 2003, Packham and Yeow formally used the term black bronchoscopy to describe endobronchial metastasis from a malignant melanoma.

Virtual Bronchoscopy

Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2005
Virtual bronchoscopy is rapidly providing a software solution for visualization and measurement of the human airway tree with data derived from multirow detector X-ray CT scans as the most common data source. Increasingly, other imaging data sources to create three-dimensional image renderings of the bronchial tree are being used including magnetic ...

Rigid Bronchoscopy

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2014
The purpose of this article is to provide an introduction to rigid bronchoscopy (RB). We will briefly discuss its history, evolution, and resurgence while we highlight its versatility and usefulness for today's interventional pulmonologist and thoracic surgeon.

Rigid Bronchoscopy

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2013
Complex airway diseases represent a therapeutic challenge and require multidisciplinary input. Surgery remains the definitive modality. Minimally invasive endobronchial techniques have resulted in symptom control and long-term improvements. The rigid bronchoscope remains the method of choice for the treatment of both benign and malignant central airway

Fluorescent bronchoscopy

Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2004
Detection of clinically occult lung neoplasms may represent an opportunity for early curative intervention. Fluorescent bronchoscopy is a sensitive technique for detecting early endobronchial tumors that may be combined with CT scanning as part of a comprehensive lung cancer screening program.

FLEXIBLE BRONCHOSCOPY

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1996
Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is an excellent tool for the evaluation of the airways and lung parenchyma. The history of flexible bronchoscopy, anesthesia, technique, indications, contraindications, and complications in using the bronchoscopy are reviewed.

LASER BRONCHOSCOPY

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1996
Laser bronchoscopy allows reestablishment of patent airways in patients with exophytic intraluminal tracheobronchial obstruction from malignancy. Patients with benign strictures can also be treated, thereby avoiding open surgical repair in selected instances.
