Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

1.1K
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...

  • Comprehensive review of AI applications in white-light bronchoscopy, image-enhanced bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), and virtual/robotic bronchoscopies.
  • Analysis of AI's role in workflow optimization, training simulations, and decision-support tools.
  • Examination of methodological limitations, regulatory hurdles, and implementation barriers for AI in endoscopy.

Main Results:

  • Deep learning models demonstrate efficacy in detecting mucosal abnormalities and characterizing lymph nodes during EBUS-TBNA.
  • AI improves lesion localization and reduces operator variability in pulmonary procedures.
  • AI-assisted simulation platforms are transforming training paradigms, though most studies lack external validation and clear model explainability.

Conclusions:

  • AI holds significant potential to enhance lesion detection, navigation, and training within pulmonary endoscopy.
  • Widespread adoption requires robust prospective validation, standardized datasets, and transparent reporting of AI models.
  • Multidisciplinary collaboration and careful integration into clinical workflows are crucial for successful AI implementation.
