Fraxinus

Fraxinus - An open source, software only, navigation system for bronchoscopy

Formål

Bronchoscopy is the endobronchial procedure for inspection and diagnostic sampling in the airways, e.g. to diagnose lung cancer. Navigating the flexible bronchoscope through the airways to the target for the diagnostic sampling, like biopsy or fine needle aspiration, is challenging due to the numerous divisions of the airways tree structure and the lack of direct visibility of smaller peripheral lesions. Even with fluoroscopy guidance, the diagnostic success rate for bronchoscopically non-visible tumors is as low as 15% compared to 80% for visible tumors, dependent on tumor size, the doctors experience and the method used for sampling. Using navigated bronchoscopy is a possibility to reduce these challenges and thus increase the biopsy success rate.
