Remember the old days!
Old analog telephones and type writers have been replaced by digitial cell phones and laptops
Much like other technologies, bronchoscopy will be enhanced with electromagnetic navigation
500,000 bronchoscopies performed annually in the US1
65% of bronchoscopies fail to reach peripheral lesions2
Failure of bronchoscopy leads to more invasive diagnostic procedures

i-Logic is:
• “GPS” for the lungs
• ELECTROMAGNETIC NAVIGATION and sensor feedback that DISPLAYS YOUR REAL-TIME POSITION regardless of visual obstruction or patient movement
• We reach 17+ GENERATIONS (to the pleura)– Our unique catheter design provides guidance, 360°
steerability, and access to virtually all peripheral lung lesions
• We have REAL CLINICAL EXPERIENCE– Over 18 clinical publications covering over 700+
patients– 13,000+ CASES worldwide

Conventionally, in spine and CNS, gold fiducials have been placed by CT-guidance or fluoroscopy.
Usually placed in bone. Low complication rate.
In imaging technologies, a fiducial is an object in the field of view which serves as a point of reference.
Fiducials allow imaging systems to account for motion that might not otherwise be seen.
This is critical to preservation of normal tissue
CT placement of fiducials: 40%With concurrent biopsy: 57%Fiducial only: 35%Chest tube required: 40%
Reichner et al. Chest 2005; 128(4):162-3S. Banovac et al. Clinical Lung Cancer 2007;8(4):252-6.
CT-guided lung biopsy: 19%-60%Most commonly 25% to 30%.50% require chest tube placement.
Saji H et al. Chest 2002; 121: 1521-1526.
Small gold markers placed into or near the tumor.
Used by the computer to track the target lesion.
Ideally place 3-5 markers 2 cm apart from each other.
In difficult cases a single fiducial may be adequate.
Need to be in different plane than the 45’ fluoroscopy used in the CyberKnife suite.
Placing fiducials into the lung poses new risks: Pneumothorax. Bleeding Migration. Movement.
• Enhanced thoracoscopic localization for more precise excisional biopsy
• Substantial reduction in VATS conversion to thoracotomy
• Increased operability
Driving patients from Competitors to your hospital Patients Leaving Dothan for Treatment- 100 Number of patients being treated at competitive hospital
Watchful Waiting – hard to define; physicians would need to provide number of patients that are receiving serial CTs.
Non-malignant disease –there is a significant role for diagnosing benign disease.
Existing CT Guided Needle Biopsies – because of risk profile, some patients will do much better getting superDimension
Existing Bronchoscopies converted to superDimension – 14% bronchoscopic yield for peripheral lesions; if the lesion is beyond the visual field of the scope, superDimension will be used
