About this trial

Brief summary The goal of this Feasibility study is to capture bronchoscopy data from patients (Group1) and bronchoscopists (Group 2) over a period of three years. The investigators wish to collect the pre-procedure CT scans and endoscopy videos of 300 patients. Up to 20 bronchoscopists will take part in the study

Primary outcomes

1. To collect imaging data from patients undergoing routine bronchoscopy procedures 2. To collect movement data from clinicians performing the routine bronchoscopy procedures using a sensory Glove

Secondary outcomes

1. Integrate the data gathered with procedure guidelines to develop a representation of procedure success using machine learning algorithms. 2. Develop an actionable knowledge base for bronchoscopy skill transfer to novice/untrained medical staff. 3. Investigate the feasibility of developing models of bronchoscopy procedures to develop training tools in the future

There are no additional samples or time commitments from the participants in Group 1.

The participants in Group 2 will be asked to answer a short questionnaire about their experience in performing bronchoscopies and will be asked to wear a sensory glove during the bronchoscopy procedure to capture their hand movements.
