A New Approach to Manual CT Scan Reading for Planning the Pathway to Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions
The simplified manual planning method demonstrated a high level of concordance with VB systems, while offering unique advantages in identifying additional bifurcations and resolving cases where VB systems were unsuccessful. Although the manual method required longer planning times, its cost-effectiveness and accessibility highlight its potential as a valuable alternative, particularly in resource-limited settings or as a tool to enhance bronchoscopists' spatial awareness and procedural confidence.
