GPS-guided navigation to deep and peripheral lung targets with superior precision — planned using a dedicated chest CT prior to the procedure.
Robotic bronchoscopy uses GPS-like technology to navigate a steerable, flexible instrument through the airways to reach peripheral or deep lung tissue targets that are inaccessible to traditional bronchoscopy.
Before the procedure, a dedicated chest CT scan is used to plan the navigation path to the target lesion. During the procedure, the robotic system provides real-time guidance along this planned route, giving the physician superior reach and accuracy for biopsy of small or distant lung nodules.
This technique represents one of the most advanced tools in diagnostic pulmonology and is particularly valuable for evaluating suspicious peripheral lung nodules.
