Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions (PPLs)

This is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, non inferiority, cluster randomized controlled trial. The primary objective is to compare the diagnostic yield of the electromagnetic robotic assisted bronchoscopy with digital tomosynthesis (Galaxy system by Noah Medical) to the shape sensing robotic assisted bronchoscopy with integrated cone beam CT (Ion™ Endoluminal System by Intuitive) in patients undergoing bronchoscopy for peripheral pulmonary lesion (PPL) evaluation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical value of mobile 4D CBCT technology in the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral pulmonary lesions and to validate its intraoperative dynamic three-dimensional CT imaging capability.
