About

Anoop Koratala is a leading researcher in interventional pulmonology, specializing in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions and lung cancer. His work focuses on advancing bronchoscopic techniques, particularly robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB), to improve diagnostic accuracy for challenging nodules. Koratala’s major contributions include systematic reviews and meta-analyses comparing diagnostic modalities, such as his 2024 study on the diagnostic yield and safety of techniques for pulmonary lesions (42 citations), which provides critical evidence for clinical decision-making. He has also evaluated shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy for subsolid and ground-glass nodules, demonstrating its efficacy in detecting slow-growing but high-risk malignancies (25 and 18 citations). Notably, his narrative review of robotic bronchoscopy systems (32 citations) offers a comprehensive guide to emerging technologies like the Ion and Monarch platforms. Koratala’s work has significant impact, with his most-cited papers collectively garnering over 117 citations, highlighting his role in shaping minimally invasive lung cancer diagnostics. His research bridges innovation and practice, making him a key figure in pulmonology.
