Multi-modal tissue sampling in cone beam CT guided navigation bronchoscopy: comparative accuracy of different sampling tools and rapid on-site evaluation of cytopathology.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Advanced technological aids are frequently used to improve outcome of transbronchial diagnostics for peripheral pulmonary lesions. Even when lesion access has been confirmed by 3D imaging, obtaining an accurate tissue sample however remains difficult. In this single institution study, we evaluate the comparative accuracy of different sampling methodologies and the accuracy of rapid on-site evaluation of cytopathology (ROSE) in navigation bronchoscopy cases where imaging has confirmed the catheter to have accurately accessed the lesion.

Methods

All consecutive navigation bronchoscopies in between December 2017- June 2020 performed in a room with a cone beam CT (CBCT) system where catheter position was intra-procedurally confirmed to be within or adjacent to the les
