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

Foreign body retrieval using a flexible video-bronchoscope in a child
While several articles describe clinical management of foreign bodies (FBs) in proximal airways, most using a rigid bronchoscope; flexible bronchoscopy and its utility in management of airway FB is unclear.

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.

Background: Self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are a well-accepted treatment modality for malignant tracheobronchial obstruction or malignant tracheoesophageal fistulae (TEFs). The traditional approach to SEMS insertion in central airway obstruction (CAO)

FBG-Based Triaxial Force Sensor Integrated with an Eccentrically Configured Imaging Probe for Endoluminal Optical Biopsy [PDF]
Accurate force sensing is important for endoluminal intervention in terms of both safety and lesion targeting. This paper develops an FBG-based force sensor for robotic bronchoscopy by configuring three FBG sensors at the lateral side of a conical substrate.

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 ...

Utility of Flexible Bronchoscopy for Airway Foreign Bodies Removal in Adults
Foreign body aspiration is relatively infrequent in adults. Airway foreign bodies (AFBs) can be removed by flexible bronchoscopy (FB) or rigid bronchoscopy (RB).

Missed distal tracheal foreign body in consecutive bronchoscopies in a 6-year-old boy
It is unusual but not uncommon for foreign bodies to be missed at bronchoscopy. This case report highlights the importance of the clinical history in the diagnosis of aspirated foreign bodies and the usefulness of chest imaging modalities.

BACKGROUND: Dexmedetomidine is a clinically useful drug for providing sedation, but concern regarding its cardiovascular side effect profile can limit its widespread use during routine diagnostic flexible bronchoscopy (FB).
