About

Bruce F. Sabath is a leading interventional pulmonologist whose research is reshaping the diagnosis of peripheral lung nodules through advanced robotic bronchoscopy. His work centers on overcoming computed tomography-to-body divergence (CTBD)—a critical barrier to accurate targeting—by integrating mobile cone-beam CT (CBCT) guidance and innovative patient positioning. Dr. Sabath’s most impactful study (21 citations) demonstrates that CBCT guidance significantly improves diagnostic outcomes in shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, offering a real-time solution to the anatomical shifts that often obscure small lesions. He further pioneered the use of lateral decubitus positioning during mobile CT-guided procedures (18 citations), showing that this strategy prevents atelectasis from hiding targets, thereby enhancing nodule accessibility. His comprehensive review on robotic bronchoscopy (3 citations) synthesizes the field’s rapid evolution, underscoring its transformative role in lung cancer diagnostics. With a growing citation footprint and a focus on practical, technique-driven innovations, Dr. Sabath’s contributions are directly improving the safety and yield of minimally invasive lung biopsies—critical as lung cancer screening expands worldwide.
