Virtual Bronchoscopy for Diagnosis of Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2006 Virtual bronchoscopy is a new method for viewing helical/spiral computed tomography (CT) images of the tracheobronchial trees. Using commercially available software to process the CT data, the tracheobronchial trees can be inspected through a series of ...

Autonomous Driving in the Lung using Deep Learning for Localization [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and early diagnosis is critical to improving patient outcomes. To diagnose cancer, a highly trained pulmonologist must navigate a flexible bronchoscope deep into the branched structure of the lung for biopsy.

Proof of concept: Shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy performed under moderate sedation
Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2023 We describe a first reported case of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy using ION-intuitive platform done successfully under moderate sedation. A 76-year-old woman was found to have a right upper lobe mass measuring 3 × 2.9 cm.

Classification of lung nodules in CT images based on Wasserstein distance in differential geometry [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Lung nodules are commonly detected in screening for patients with a risk for lung cancer. Though the status of large nodules can be easily diagnosed by fine needle biopsy or bronchoscopy, small nodules are often difficult to classify on computed tomography (CT).
