Background: Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) has been widely adopted as a guidance technique for biopsy of peripheral lung nodules. However, ENB is limited by the lack of real-time confirmation of the biopsy devices. Intraprocedural cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging can be utilized to assess or confirm the location of biopsy devices. The aim of this study is to determine the safety and diagnostic yield (DY) of image fusion of intraprocedural CBCT data with live fluoroscopy (augmented fluoroscopy) during ENB-guided biopsy of peripheral lung nodules. Methods: Data from 75 consecutive patients who underwent biopsy with ENB was collected retrospectively. Patients underwent CBCT imaging while temporarily suspending mechanical ventilation. CBCT data were acquired and 3-dimensional segmentation of nodules was performed using commercially available software (OncoSuite). During ENB, the segmented lesions were projected and fused with live fluoroscopy enabling real-time 3-dimensional guidance. Results: A total of 93 lesions with a median size of 16.0 mm were biopsied in 75 consecutive patients. The overall DY by lesion was 83.7% (95% confidence interval, 74.8%-89.9%). Multivariate regression analysis showed no independent correlation between lesion size, lesion location, lesion visibility under standard fluoroscopy, and the presence of a bronchus sign with DY. Pneumothorax occurred in 3 patients (4%). Conclusion: Intraprocedural CBCT imaging with augmented fluoroscopy is feasible and effective and is associated with high DY during ENB-guided biopsies.
