ESOPHAGOSCOPY AND BRONCHOSCOPY. [PDF]
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1904 Esophagoscopy has been practiced so long and is so familiar to some general surgeons as well as to laryngologists, that its history would not be of great interest. However, its great value in some cases calls for at least a word, and I wish to present the history of one very interesting case in which it enabled me to make a successful operation where ...

Use of cryoprobe for removal of a large tracheobronchial foreign body during flexible bronchoscopy
Lung India, 2016 Foreign body (FB) inhalation in the tracheobronchial tree is an infrequently encountered event in adults. The diagnosis is suspected in the presence of a clinical history of aspiration and the presence of respiratory symptoms.

NaviAirway: a Bronchiole-sensitive Deep Learning-based Airway Segmentation Pipeline [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Airway segmentation is essential for chest CT image analysis. Different from natural image segmentation, which pursues high pixel-wise accuracy, airway segmentation focuses on topology. The task is challenging not only because of its complex tree-like structure but also the severe pixel imbalance among airway branches of different generations.

BREAK: Bronchi Reconstruction by gEodesic transformation And sKeleton embedding [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Airway segmentation is critical for virtual bronchoscopy and computer-aided pulmonary disease analysis. In recent years, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used to delineate the bronchial tree. However, the segmentation results of the CNN-based methods usually include many discontinuous branches, which need manual repair in clinical ...

Two-stage Contextual Transformer-based Convolutional Neural Network for Airway Extraction from CT Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Accurate airway extraction from computed tomography (CT) images is a critical step for planning navigation bronchoscopy and quantitative assessment of airway-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The existing methods are challenging to sufficiently segment the airway, especially the high-generation airway, with the constraint of the ...
