We conducted a preliminary investigation of virtual bronchoscopy as a guide for transbronchial needle aspiration of hilar or mediastinal lymph nodes to assess the usefulness of this technique.
Virtual bronchoscopic images derived from routine helical CT scans were useful for directing transbronchial needle aspiration in a clinical setting. In addition, virtual bronchoscopy may have been responsible for improving the yield of transbronchial needle aspirations done by our bronchoscopists when 22-gauge needles were used.
我们对虚拟支气管镜检查作为引导经支气管针吸活检肺门或纵隔淋巴结的方法进行了初步研究,以评估该技术的实用性。
源自常规螺旋CT扫描的虚拟支气管镜图像在临床环境中有助于引导经支气管针吸活检。此外,当使用22号针时,虚拟支气管镜检查可能有助于提高我们的支气管镜医师进行经支气管针吸活检的阳性率。
