Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to establish real-time virtual bronchoscopic navigation with image processing technology. SYNAPSE VINCENT uses unique image recognition technology to extract automatically bronchial path and other organs. We create synchronized real-time bronchoscopic navigation system by single click procedure. This technology guides bronchial path to reach a lung nodule by using each patient's CT imaging data.
