Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

173
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Robotics
    • Computer Vision

    Background:

    • Accurate real-time bronchoscope localization is critical for interventional pulmonology.
    • Existing vision-based methods face challenges in balancing speed and generalization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop BronchoTrack, a real-time framework for accurate branch-level bronchoscope localization.
    • To improve lumen detection, tracking, and airway association for enhanced navigation.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a lightweight detector for efficient lumen detection.
    • Introduced multi-object tracking to mitigate temporal confusion during localization.
    • Developed a training-free association method using a semantic airway graph for generalization.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved 81.72% localization accuracy on 11 patient datasets, reaching the 6th generation airways.
    • Successfully localized the bronchoscope to the 8th generation airway in an in-vivo porcine model.
    • Demonstrated real-time performance with high accuracy and generalization capabilities.

    Conclusions:

    • BronchoTrack offers a robust solution for real-time bronchoscope localization.
    • The framework shows significant potential for clinical applications in interventional pulmonology.
    • The combination of efficient detection, tracking, and graph-based association ensures reliable navigation.
