VITAL Study: Real-World Comparison of Robotic and Imaging-Guided Bronchoscopy : Impact of Real-Time Imaging and Tool-Lesion Alignment on Diagnostic Yield.
BACKGROUND Accurate bronchoscopic diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions remains limited by navigation challenges and CT-to-body divergence. Integrated imaging techniques, including augmented fluoroscopy (AF) and C-arm-based tomography (CABT), have improved lesion localization across both robotic and non-robotic pla...
