Abstract
Electromagnetic navigation is a novel tool which aids diagnostic yield of flexible bronchoscopy for the peripheral lung lesions and mediastinal lymph nodes. The procedure is safe, effective, and easy and can be performed with or without the use of fluoroscopy. It plays a complementary role with endobronchial ultrasound. It has a potential to be a helpful tool in improving outcomes from thoracoscopic resections, external beam radiotherapy, interstitial brachytherapy, and cyberknife treatment. Its upfront cost and that associated with the disposable LG could hinder its popularity.
