4D electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules - An overview and preliminary clinical results

CONCLUSION: Our preliminary data suggest that 4D-ENB is a promising new alternative for the diagnosis of PPNs. To further improve diagnostic yield, 4D-END, which lacks real-time visualization, should be embedded in a multimodal diagnostic procedure with rEBUS and/or fluoroscopy.PMID:38081219 | DOI:10.1055/a-2193-0966
