... therapy to small lung lesions in a minimally invasive way in patients with high risk for surgery. Unfortunately, bronchoscopy cannot always reach lesions in the peripheral lung, in particular the smaller lesions. Therefore, new guidance techniques like virtual bronchoscopy and electromagnetic navigation...

...Ralf Eberhardt; Ross K. Morgan; Armin Ernst; Thomas Beyer; Felix J.F. Herth Background: Electromagnetic navigation has been approved for use as an adjunct to standard bronchoscopy. The diagnostic yield varies depending on the size of the lesion and successful navigation to the lesion. Objectives...

..., such as transthoracic needle aspiration, mediastinoscopy or even thoracotomy. Electromagnetic navigation is a novel technology that facilitates approaching peripheral lung lesions, which are difficult to sample by conventional means. The navigation system involves creating an electromagnetic field around the chest...
