Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bronchoscopy is a useful tool for the inspection of airways and the diagnosis of lung disease. Visualization of the airway has improved through new advances in optics and insertable tools. Narrow-band imaging and autofluorescence imaging bronchoscopes are two types of bronchoscopes that can aid in the detection of airway lesions.
However, the diagnostic accuracy of these procedures for peripheral pulmonary lesions is a matter of ongoing debate. The bronchoscopic diagnosis of small peripheral lung lesions suspected of lung cancer remains a challenge. There is an increasing demand for bronchoscopic approaches. Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) is a minimally invasive technology that guides endoscopic tools to pulmonary lesions. ENB has been widely adopted as a guidance technique for biopsy of peripheral lung nodules.
The aim of this Special Issue is to gather accurate and up-to-date scientific information which will further strengthen our knowledge of bronchoscopy.
