High Definition Bronchoscopy; an Exploratory Study of Diagnostic Value in Comparison to Standard White Light Bronchoscopy and Autofluorescence Bronchoscopy
In Brief
An observational study for Cancer. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Through technological improvement a new technique has become available in the form of high-definition (HD-) bronchoscopy. Current normal video white light bronchoscopy is the standard, and video-autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) is offered by specialized centers only. The impact of this development with high-definition videobronchoscopy using a 1.1 megapixel chip on the diagnostic performance of bronchoscopy is however unknown. The aim of the present study therefore is to explore the diagnostic performance (sensitivity and specificity) of HD-videobronchoscopy, HD + surface enhancement (iScan filtering technique) and HD + tone enhancement filtering in comparison to standard WLB and dual mode SAFE3000 autofluorescence videobronchoscopy in a high risk population.
