Navigated ultrasound bronchoscopy with integrated positron emission tomography—A human feasibility study
Our study introduces a feasible multimodal electromagnetic navigation platform that combines intraoperative ultrasound with preoperative segmented CT and PET imaging data for EBUS lymph node staging examinations. This innovative approach holds promise for enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of EBUS procedures.
