Bronchoscopy During Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic: A Bronchoscopist’s Perspective
Bronchoscopy is a safe and commonly performed procedure for diagnostic as well as therapeutic indications. Bronchoscopy is also an aerosol-generating procedure, and due to the risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 transmission during ...

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.

The role of bronchoscopy in the diagnosis and management of pediatric pulmonary tuberculosis
Bronchoscopy is useful as a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure in children with Tuberculosis (TB) disease complicated by airway obstruction. It is needed in children when surgical intervention may be required for airway compression, when drug ...

Design of a Teleoperated Robotic Bronchoscopy System for Peripheral Pulmonary Lesion Biopsy [PDF]
Bronchoscopy with transbronchial biopsy is a minimally invasive and effective method for early lung cancer intervention. Robot-assisted bronchoscopy offers improved precision, spatial flexibility, and reduced risk of cross-infection. This paper introduces a novel teleoperated robotic bronchoscopy system and a three-stage procedure designed for robot ...

BronchoPose: an analysis of data and model configuration for vision-based bronchoscopy pose estimation [PDF]
Vision-based bronchoscopy (VB) models require the registration of the virtual lung model with the frames from the video bronchoscopy to provide effective guidance during the biopsy. The registration can be achieved by either tracking the position and orientation of the bronchoscopy camera or by calibrating its deviation from the pose (position and ...

In vivo endoscopic autofluorescence microspectro-imaging of bronchi and alveoli [PDF]
Fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy (FCFM) is a new technique that can be used during a bronchoscopy to analyze the nature of the human bronchial and alveolar mucosa fluorescence microstructure. An endoscopic fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy system with spectroscopic analysis capability was developed allowing real-time, simultaneous images

Tracking and Mapping in Medical Computer Vision: A Review [PDF]
As computer vision algorithms increase in capability, their applications in clinical systems will become more pervasive. These applications include: diagnostics, such as colonoscopy and bronchoscopy; guiding biopsies, minimally invasive interventions, and surgery; automating instrument motion; and providing image guidance using pre-operative scans ...
