Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy With Tomosynthesis-based Visualization and Positional Correction

Background: Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) aids in lung lesion biopsy. However, anatomic divergence between the preprocedural computed tomography (CT) and the actual bronchial anatomy during the procedure can limit localization accuracy. An advanced ENB system has been designed to mitigate CT-to-body divergence using a tomosynthesis-based software algorithm that enhances nodule visibility and allows for intraprocedural local...
