Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy (ENB) for Precise Lung Biopsy
What is ENB?
Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy (ENB) is a minimally invasive technique that helps pulmonologists reach lung nodules that are difficult to access with conventional bronchoscopy. It allows for real-time, GPS-like guidance to navigate through the airways and obtain accurate biopsy samples.
Advantages:
- Higher success rate in diagnosing lung cancer at an early stage
- Reduces the need for more invasive procedures like surgical biopsy
- Improves accuracy in targeting small or peripheral lung lesions
Clinical Application:
ENB is widely used for diagnosing lung cancer, staging tumors, and guiding treatment decisions. It plays a crucial role in early lung cancer detection, significantly improving survival rates.
