NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with cone-beam CT imaging showed promise for diagnosing central, distal-airway and peripheral pulmonary lesions in a single-center study presented at the CHEST Annual Meeting.
“Shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy combined with advanced imaging techniques such as cone-beam CT is a newer technique that allows us to diagnose and stage lung cancer in a single procedure with high diagnostic accuracy and an excellent safety profile. It has potential to become the standard of care for diagnosing pulmonary lesions if we
