| Summary: | Determining the nature of nodular alternations in the lungs still remains an urgent problem in oncology, pulmonology, and radiology. In some cases, the final diagnosis can be established only on the basis of studying the material obtained during bronchobiopsy, transthoracic biopsy, and surgical treatment. Bronchobiopsy is the first stage of minimally invasive diagnostics towards detecting the nature of nodular changes in the lung tissue, the effectiveness of which depends on preliminary navigation to the region of interest using computed tomography (CT). The article presents five clinical cases demonstrating the use of CT navigation technology for performing bronchobiopsy in patients with peripheral pulmonary nodules. |
