Novel approaches utilizing robotic navigational bronchoscopy: a single institution experience.

Journal of robotic surgery
The effective biopsy of pulmonary nodules is crucial to early diagnosis and consequent effective treatment for patients. As a relatively new procedure, few studies look at the effectiveness of the Monarch system in achieving this goal. The aim of thi...

Deep learning-based diagnosis from endobronchial ultrasonography images of pulmonary lesions.

Scientific reports
Endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS) improves the accuracy of bronchoscopy. The possibility of differentiating benign from malignant lesions based on EBUS findings may be useful in making the correct diagnosis. The convolutiona...

Deep learning for anatomical interpretation of video bronchoscopy images.

Scientific reports
Anesthesiologists commonly use video bronchoscopy to facilitate intubation or confirm the location of the endotracheal tube; however, depth and orientation in the bronchial tree can often be confused because anesthesiologists cannot trace the airway ...

Shape-Sensing Robotic-Assisted Bronchoscopy in the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Parenchymal Lesions.

Chest
BACKGROUND: The landscape of guided bronchoscopy for the sampling of pulmonary parenchymal lesions is evolving rapidly. Shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) recently was introduced as means to allow successful sampling of traditionally...

Management of Significant Airway Bleeding during Robotic Assisted Bronchoscopy: A Tailored Approach.

Respiration; international review of thoracic diseases
Robotic assisted bronchoscopy represents a major turning point in bronchoscopic history. The management strategies to address significant airway bleeding in this "robotic era" are not well documented, and further guidance is required. We present a ca...

Thrombolysis of Pulmonary Emboli via Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Injection.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
BACKGROUND: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle injection (EBUS-TBNI) is a novel technique for treating peribronchial targets. The aim of this study was to evaluate preliminary feasibility of thrombolysis of pulmonary emboli via EBU...

A Convolutional Neural Network for Real Time Classification, Identification, and Labelling of Vocal Cord and Tracheal Using Laryngoscopy and Bronchoscopy Video.

Journal of medical systems
BACKGROUND: The use of artificial intelligence, including machine learning, is increasing in medicine. Use of machine learning is rising in the prediction of patient outcomes. Machine learning may also be able to enhance and augment anesthesia clinic...

A Concentric Tube Robot System for Rigid Bronchoscopy: A Feasibility Study on Central Airway Obstruction Removal.

Annals of biomedical engineering
New robotic systems have recently emerged to assist with peripheral lung access, but a robotic system for rigid bronchoscopy has yet to be developed. We describe a new robotic system that can deliver thin robotic manipulators through the ports of sta...

Transbronchial biopsy catheter enhanced by a multisection continuum robot with follow-the-leader motion.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Current manual catheters for transbronchial biopsy in the lung lack a steering ability, which hampers a physician's ability to reach nodules in the peripheral lung. The objective of this paper is to design and build a multisection robot with...
