ATS Heatmap Poster

The "ATS Heatmap Poster" unveils the outcomes of a pioneering multicenter study on a novel Biopsy Assessment System for lung biopsies via Robotic-Assisted Bronchoscopy, emphasizing its capacity to boost diagnostic accuracy by employing Full Field Optical Coherence Tomography with Dynamic Cell Imaging (FFOCT-DCI). This technology allows for an unprecedented cellular-level examination of biopsy samples, closely simulating the rapid on-site evaluation typically seen in cytology. Covering 54 enrolled patients and focusing on 43 evaluable cases, the research demonstrates the system's effectiveness in offering real-time assessments of biopsy adequacy, significantly within an average of under two minutes. This breakthrough signifies a major step forward in lung cancer diagnostics, promising enhanced precision and speed in identifying malignancies, thereby setting a new standard for intraprocedural evaluation.
