About
Dr. Jianing Ma is a rising leader in interventional pulmonology, whose work is redefining the precision of minimally invasive lung cancer diagnostics. Her primary research focuses on the integration of advanced imaging modalities—specifically cone beam CT (CBCT)—with shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB). In her seminal 2025 paper, Dr. Ma demonstrated that intraprocedural CBCT provides a critical three-dimensional map of the biopsy tool relative to the target lesion, enabling real-time adjustments that dramatically enhance navigational accuracy. This work addresses a fundamental challenge in bronchoscopy: the "blind spot" between pre-procedural planning and live tool position. By quantifying the additional accuracy gained through this fusion, her research provides a clear, evidence-based protocol for improving diagnostic yield in small or difficult-to-reach peripheral nodules. While her most-cited work is still accumulating impact, its immediate relevance to clinical practice positions it as a foundational reference for the next generation of robotic bronchoscopy studies. Dr. Ma’s contributions are paving the way for safer, more reliable, and truly image-guided lung biopsies.
