Interventions

  • Virtual Navigation System — DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
    The Virtual Navigator guidance computer is interfaced to the bronchoscopy hardware to tap off the live bronchoscopy video feed. The standard OR medical team (technicians, clinical fellows, et al.) is on hand, and standard clinical facilities (e.g., fluoroscopy, CT/PET image viewer) are available. Our technical team is also present to record all procedural video and computer display information. It also operates the guidance computer during the guided procedure and offers any assistance in case of unanticipated issues. The participant's clinical bronchoscopy will be recorded by the radiology imaging management system.

Study Details

The main objective of this project is to demonstrate the potential of three new technical innovations for improving state-of-the-art bronchoscopy guidance systems. Through this study, we plan to generate preliminary data that demonstrates the potential of three new innovations for enhancing existing bronchoscopy systems in the live clinical setting. The goal is to demonstrate the potential of the new innovations: 1. to demonstrate the potential of a new methodology to reduce errors from CT-to-body divergence in the live clinical setting, 2. to demonstrate the potential of the new methodologies to enable live rerouting of a guided bronchoscopy, and 3. to perform automatic real-time mucosal lesion detection during a standard airway examination. These innovations could potentially improve current image-guided bronchoscopy systems and be used for future robotic bronchoscopy.
