Advanced Imaging and Navigation Enhancing the Precision of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopy, the procedure for directly visualizing a patient's airways, is continually being advanced by innovative technological integration, transforming its capabilities in diagnosing and treating pulmonary conditions. Modern systems now incorporate Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) to allow real-time staging of lung cancer by sampling mediastinal lymph nodes with exceptional accuracy, often replacing more invasive surgical procedures. Furthermore, guided-bronchoscopy techniques, including electromagnetic navigation, use three-dimensional modeling to precisely guide instruments to smaller, more peripheral lung nodules, significantly improving the diagnostic yield for early-stage lung diseases.
