Human and Deep Learning Predictions of Peripheral Lung Cancer Using a 1.3 mm Video Endoscopic Probe
Direct endoscopic visualisation of peripheral pulmonary nodule smaller than 2 cm is feasible using a miniaturised video endoscopy probe, and this endoscopic imaging of these peripheral lung lesions can predict malignancy with high accuracy, both by human eyes and a deep learning generated prediction model.

Feasibility of cryobiopsy specimen retrieval through standard guide sheath for peripheral pulmonary lesions without bronchoscope removal [PDF]
Background: Transbronchial cryobiopsy is a promising technique for biopsy of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL). However, cryobiopsy specimen retrieval can pose problems due to the risk of bleeding during the blind period when the bronchoscope and ...
