Figure 1. . Purpose and outcomes of the electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy procedures.

Figure 1. 

A total of 94 ENB procedures were conducted in 90 patients (92 lesions). ENB procedures were conducted for the purpose of obtaining a biopsy sample in 86 patients; of those, a diagnosis was obtained in 71/86 patients, for an initial diagnostic yield of 82.6%.

†In one patient the ENB procedure was aborted because the catheter was too short for the unusually tall patient.

‡A total of five patients underwent ENB-guided fiducial placement: four patients with both ENB-guided biopsy and fiducial placement and one with fiducial placement only.

§Includes two patients with ENB-guided EBUS (see text description).

EBUS: Endobronchial ultrasound; ENB: Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy.
