About

Dr. LT Chan is a leading interventional pulmonologist whose research focuses on advancing the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules through robotic-assisted bronchoscopy and advanced imaging integration. Their most notable contribution is the pioneering work on shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) combined with cone beam CT (CBCT), a technique that significantly improves the accuracy of lesion verification and biopsy sampling. In their landmark 2025 study, Dr. Chan demonstrated the diagnostic and safety performance of this combined approach, with particular emphasis on challenging cases involving small nodules and those located near fissures or pleura—areas traditionally difficult to access. This work has already garnered early citations, reflecting its immediate impact on clinical practice. Dr. Chan’s research bridges the gap between cutting-edge robotics and real-time imaging, offering a safer, more precise alternative to conventional bronchoscopic techniques. Their contributions are shaping the future of minimally invasive lung cancer diagnostics, making them a key figure in the evolution of interventional pulmonology.
