Cone beam computed tomography for navigational bronchoscopy.

ABSTRACT: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a revolutionary technology that is increasingly being used in interventional pulmonology for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary lesions, specifically small peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs). CBCT systems can provide detailed three-dimensional (3D) imaging, allowing for 3D lesion as well as instrument positioning information. Currently, only the fixed CBCT systems have been studied as a tool to not only provide 3D scanning information but also allow overlaying information on live fluoroscopy by a feature called augmented fluoroscopy. Using this combination of scanning and augmentation, CBCT can be used as a modality that provides both imaging and guidance in navigation to target lesions in navigation bronchoscopy. Studies have shown that the a
