Cost-Effectiveness of Rapid On-Site Evaluation During Navigational BronchoscopyTake-home Points [PDF]
Background: Peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) are common, with > 1.6 million PPLs incidentally identified in the United States annually. Navigational bronchoscopy (NB) is a cornerstone of the diagnostic evaluation of PPLs. Intraprocedural rapid on-site

Prone Positioning Is a Feasible Approach in the Diagnostic Work-Up of Posterior Pulmonary Nodules and a Means to Limit CT-to-Body Divergence: A Retrospective Cohort Study [PDF]
Background: Lung cancer is the second most common cause of cancer with high mortality, thereby emphasizing the importance of early detection. However, the rate of new lung cancer diagnosis has remained relatively unchanged.

Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy—advancing lung cancer management [PDF]
The incidental discovery of early-stage, multifocal lung cancer is transforming the medical landscape. Diagnosing and treating such lesions are often troublesome due to their small size, subsolid consistency, and multifocal nature.
