About
Dr. Mohit Chawla is a leading interventional pulmonologist whose research is revolutionizing the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions through advanced robotic-assisted bronchoscopy. His work centers on integrating shape-sensing robotic bronchoscopy (ssRAB) with real-time imaging, particularly mobile cone-beam computed tomography (mCBCT), to overcome the limitations of traditional bronchoscopy. Dr. Chawla’s landmark 2021 study, cited over 180 times, established the foundational efficacy of shape-sensing robotic bronchoscopy for diagnosing lung nodules. He has since made pivotal contributions by quantifying how mCBCT improves the tool-lesion relationship, characterizing the learning curve for these complex procedures, and demonstrating the feasibility of using robotic bronchoscopy for biomarker identification in thoracic malignancies. His research also addresses critical practical concerns, including radiation exposure determinants and the integration of transbronchial cryobiopsy. By systematically analyzing computed tomography-to-body divergence and exploring novel applications like accessing aortopulmonary lymph nodes, Dr. Chawla is defining best practices and expanding the therapeutic reach of robotic bronchoscopy, making him a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive lung cancer diagnostics.
