Modern endobronchial technologies in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules
https://doi.org/10.52581/1814-1471/81/16
Abstract
Peripheral pulmonary nodules are one of the most common forms of lung lesions that are detected on screening computed tomography. Verification of these lesions is a key task for the early diagnosis of lung cancer. The review paper discusses modern endobronchial methods used to verify lung nudules. The PubMed system of the US National Library of Medicine was used as a search for available literature.
A combination of the words: bronchoscopy and pulmonary nodule was used as keywords to search for the necessary information and sources. Despite all the technologies being developed, designed to increase the information content of bronchoscopic techniques in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules, their diagnostic significance extends within 70–80%. However, standard bronchoscopic technologies, which have been used since the second half of the 20th century, allow a sensitivity of 63% to be achieved.
