Abstract No. 201 Lesion Segmentation and 3D Fluoroscopic Overlay in Transbronchial Lung Biopsy

Bronchoscopy-guided and image-guided lung biopsies each play a key role in the pathologic diagnosis of malignancies in the lung. Merging these technologies combines the central accessibility and lower complication rate of bronchoscopic biopsies with the precision and reach of image-guided biopsies. The purpose of this study is to describe our experience using a combination of cone-beam CT (CBCT), 3D coregistration and fluoroscopic overlay tools, and electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (EMNB) to guide transbronchial lung biopsies.
