About

Momen M. Wahidi is a leading interventional pulmonologist whose research focuses on advancing bronchoscopic techniques for diagnosing peripheral pulmonary nodules. His major contributions include pioneering comparative studies of guided bronchoscopic approaches, such as electromagnetic navigation, robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, and virtual bronchoscopic navigation. Notably, his 2019 prospective randomized study comparing three guided bronchoscopic approaches for investigating pulmonary nodules has garnered 142 citations, establishing a benchmark for procedural efficacy. Wahidi also led the ACCURACY study, which evaluated robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with shape sensing and radial endobronchial ultrasound, achieving 20 citations for its insights into biopsy success factors. His work on cognitive load in navigational and robotic bronchoscopy (19 citations) highlights the psychomotor demands of these advanced techniques, contributing to improved usability and training. Additionally, his 2017 study on robotic endoscopic airway challenge reach assessment (19 citations) underscores his role in refining robotic systems for complex airway access. With over 200 citations across his most-cited works, Wahidi’s research has significantly impacted the precision and safety of bronchoscopic lung nodule sampling, making him a key figure in interventional pulmonology and a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers seeking to optimize diagnostic outcomes.
