Bronchoscope-induced displacement of lung targets: first in vivo demonstration of effect from wedging maneuver in navigated bronchoscopy

The accuracy of navigated bronchoscopy relies on a best possible correlation between the preoperative computed tomography images used for planning and the actual tumor position during bronchoscopy. Change in lung structure during the procedure may reduce success rate. The size of the lung changes du...
