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...
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 ...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...

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...
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...
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...
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.
