Bronchoscopy diagnostic, treatment and tissue biopsy collection from <5mm nodules located in the lung periphery (too far to reach with the bronchoscope).
Current Practice
The biopsy needle is advanced blindly towards the small target. Patient discomfort, procedure/treatment delay, misdiagnosis.
Solution
Electromagnetically or optically guided navigation system and proprietary navigation software for procedure planning and live navigation.
Software adaptable to any minimally invasive procedure (bronchoscopy, endoscopy, colonoscopy, laparoscopy).
