在对78名病人的试验中,机器人支气管检查系统发现84%的深肺肿瘤,而采用传统方法的肺部肿瘤为23%。 A robotic bronchoscopy system found 84% of deep lung tumors, vs. 23% with traditional methods, in a trial of 78 patients.

根据欧洲呼吸道协会会议的结果,机器人协助的支气管检查系统在对78名病人进行的临床试验中成功接触了84%的深部、难以获取的肺肿瘤,而采用传统方法的患者只有23%。 A robot-assisted bronchoscopy system successfully reached 84% of deep, hard-to-access lung tumors in a clinical trial of 78 patients, compared to just 23% with traditional methods, according to results presented at a European Respiratory Society meeting. 该装置使用CT扫描来指导一个机器人系统,用于在标准支气管检查无法进入的地区进行生物观察,使50名肺癌最易治疗的病人能够早期诊断癌症。 The device uses CT scans to guide a robotic system for biopsies in areas unreachable by standard bronchoscopy, enabling early cancer diagnosis in 50 patients with the most treatable form of lung cancer. 虽然这项技术显示出通过早期检测改善存活率的前景,但它耗资110万美元以上,每程序增加2 350美元,导致专家只建议用于具有挑战性的案件。 While the technology shows promise for improving survival through earlier detection, it costs over $1.1 million and adds $2,350 per procedure, leading experts to recommend use only for challenging cases. 调查结果是初步的,等待同行评审公布。 Findings are preliminary and await peer-reviewed publication.
