Artificial intelligence-assisted endobronchial ultrasound for differentiating between benign and malignant thoracic lymph nodes: a meta-analysis.

BMC pulmonary medicine
BACKGROUND: Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is a widely used imaging modality for evaluating thoracic lymph nodes (LNs), particularly in the staging of lung cancer. Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted EBUS has emerged as a promising tool to enhance...

Can intraoperative improvement of radial endobronchial ultrasound imaging enhance the diagnostic yield in peripheral pulmonary lesions?

BMC pulmonary medicine
BACKGROUND: Data regarding the diagnostic efficacy of radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS) findings obtained via transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA)/biopsy (TBB) with endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS) for peripheral ...

Diagnosis of early idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: current status and future perspective.

Respiratory research
The standard approach to diagnosing idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) includes identifying the usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern via high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) or lung biopsy and excluding known causes of interstitial lung ...

Machine learning allows robust classification of lung neoplasm tissue using an electronic biopsy through minimally-invasive electrical impedance spectroscopy.

Scientific reports
New bronchoscopy techniques like radial probe endobronchial ultrasound have been developed for real-time sampling characterization, but their use is still limited. This study aims to use classification algorithms with minimally invasive electrical im...

Artificial Intelligence-Guided Bronchoscopy is Superior to Human Expert Instruction for the Performance of Critical-Care Physicians: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Critical care medicine
OBJECTIVES: Bronchoscopy in the mechanically ventilated patient is an important skill for critical-care physicians. However, training opportunity is heterogenous and limited by infrequent caseload or inadequate instructor feedback for satisfactory co...

Prediction of Lymph Node Metastasis in Lung Cancer Using Deep Learning of Endobronchial Ultrasound Images With Size on CT and PET-CT Findings.

Respirology (Carlton, Vic.)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Echo features of lymph nodes (LNs) influence target selection during endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). This study evaluates deep learning's diagnostic capabilities on EBUS images f...

Brachytherapy Seed Placement by Robotic Bronchoscopy with Cone Beam Computed Tomography Guidance for Peripheral Lung Cancer: A Human Cadaveric Feasibility Pilot.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: This study evaluates the feasibility of using robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with cone beam computed tomography (RB-CBCT) platform to perform low-dose-rate brachytherapy (LDR-BT) implants in a mechanically ventilated human cadaveric model. Po...

Tumor detection on bronchoscopic images by unsupervised learning.

Scientific reports
The diagnosis and early identification of intratracheal tumors relies on the experience of the operators and the specialists. Operations by physicians with insufficient experience may lead to misdiagnosis or misjudgment of tumors. To address this iss...

EC and EC of Remifentanil for Inhibiting Bronchoscopy Responses in Elderly Patients During Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy Under Ciprofol Sedation: An Up-and-Down Sequential Allocation Trial.

Drug design, development and therapy
BACKGROUND: Opioids are used to suppress cough during fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB). However, evidence regarding the optimal dose of remifentanil during FOB under ciprofol sedation is limited. This study aimed to investigate the effective concentrati...

The Impact of Deep Learning on Determining the Necessity of Bronchoscopy in Pediatric Foreign Body Aspiration: Can Negative Bronchoscopy Rates Be Reduced?

Journal of pediatric surgery
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate the role of deep learning methods in diagnosing foreign body aspiration (FBA) to reduce the frequency of negative bronchoscopy and minimize potential complications.
