Peripheral pulmonary lesion: novel approaches in endoscopic guidance systems and a state-of-the-art review

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease
Diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesion (PPL) is the most challenging field in bronchoscopy and interventional pulmonology, which concerns early lung cancer diagnosis. Despite novel techniques and new approaches to the periphery of the lung, almost 25%

Clinical Application of Vectorial Localization of Peripheral Pulmonary Nodules Guided by Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy in Thoracic Surgery

Chinese Journal of Lung Cancer, 2019
Background and objective More patients with pulmonary nodules are being referred to thoracic surgeons under the increasing use of computed tomography scans (CT). Impalpable peripheral subpleural solitary pulmonary nodules are difficult to be localized by

Preliminary Experience With the Use of Electromagnetic Navigation for the Diagnosis of Peripheral Pulmonary Nodules and Enlarged Mediastinal Lymph Nodes [PDF]

, 2007
Electromagnetic navigation is a new technique that can be used with bronchoscopy to obtain samples of small peripheral nodular lesions and enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. It is very versatile in that it enables both transbronchial biopsies and fine-

Open-source virtual bronchoscopy for image guided navigation [PDF]

, 2016
This thesis describes the development of an open-source system for virtual bronchoscopy used in combination with electromagnetic instrument tracking. The end application is virtual navigation of the lung for biopsy of early stage cancer nodules. The open-

Use of the Archimedes navigation system to diagnose peripheral pulmonary lesions: preliminary Italian results

Frontiers in Oncology
Diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL) is one of the most challenging fields in early lung cancer diagnosis. Despite novel techniques and new approaches to the periphery of the lung, almost 25% of PPL remains undiagnosed.

Artificial intelligence in bronchoscopy: a systematic review

European Respiratory Review
Background Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have been implemented to improve the diagnostic yield and operators’ skills within endoscopy. Similar AI systems are now emerging in bronchoscopy.

Evaluation and Extension of a Navigation System for Bronchoscopy inside Human Lungs

, 2008
For exact orientation inside the tracheobronchial tree, clinicians are in urgent need of a navigation system for bronchoscopy. Such an image guided system has the ability to show the current position of a bronchoscope (instrument to inspect the inside of
