About
Dr. Mihir Parikh is a leading figure in interventional pulmonology, whose work is revolutionizing the minimally invasive diagnosis of lung cancer. His primary research focuses on the development and clinical validation of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (SSRAB), a cutting-edge technology for navigating and biopsying peripheral pulmonary nodules. Dr. Parikh’s major contributions are documented in a series of high-impact studies that have established the clinical utility of the Ion™ Endoluminal System. His landmark paper, "Ion: Technology and Techniques for Shape-sensing Robotic-assisted Bronchoscopy," has garnered over 100 citations, serving as a foundational guide for the field. He led the pivotal PRECISE study, a prospective multicenter analysis demonstrating the system's diagnostic yield, and has pioneered the integration of SSRAB with cone-beam CT for enhanced nodule localization. With over 200 total citations for his work on this platform, Dr. Parikh has proven that robotic bronchoscopy can safely and effectively sample small, hard-to-reach lung lesions, offering a less invasive alternative to transthoracic needle biopsy. His research is directly shaping modern bronchoscopic practice and improving outcomes for patients with early-stage lung cancer.
