Shape-Sensing Robotic Bronchoscopy Live Images of Advanced Emphysema and Pulmonary Nodule.

The article focuses on the use of shape-sensing robotic bronchoscopy (ssRAB) for diagnosing pulmonary nodules, particularly in challenging cases where lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) coexist. It case report highlights a successful ssRAB procedure in a patient with advanced emphysema, demonstrating the feasibility of this technology in diagnosing peripheral pulmonary nodules even in challenging scenarios.
