About

Dr. Hairong Lian is a leading authority in advanced bronchoscopic interventions, with a primary focus on shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) for the diagnosis and management of peripheral pulmonary lesions. Her most impactful contribution is the authorship of the "Chinese expert consensus on shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) in the management of peripheral pulmonary lesions" (2025), a seminal work that has already garnered 3 citations shortly after publication. This consensus document provides crucial clinical guidance for a technology that, while utilized in the United States since 2019, requires standardized protocols for broader international adoption. Dr. Lian’s work bridges a critical gap between emerging robotic platforms and real-world clinical practice, offering evidence-based recommendations to improve diagnostic accuracy and maneuverability in challenging peripheral lung lesions. Her research is instrumental in shaping how pulmonologists integrate this cutting-edge technology, ensuring safe and effective implementation. Through her leadership in developing expert consensus, Dr. Lian is helping to define the future of minimally invasive pulmonary diagnostics, positioning her as a key figure in the global advancement of robotic bronchoscopy.
