Abstract
The result of the clinical trial using the lung imaging fluorescence endoscope (LIFE) was reported. A total of 77 biopsy confirmed sites from 30 patients were evaluated. The sensitivity for metaplasia detection by the LIFE system was 96% compared to 28% by conventional bronchoscopy. The LIFE system was found to be useful in detecting subtle cancerous/precancerous lesions.Corrigendum to “Early Localization of Bronchogenic Cancerous/Precancerous Lesions With Lung Imaging Fluorescence Endoscope”dx.doi.org/10.1155/DTE.4.107Keywords
