About
Dr. Or Kalchiem-Dekel is a leading interventional pulmonologist whose research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy for the diagnosis and management of pulmonary lesions. His major contributions center on refining the tool–lesion relationship during shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB), particularly through the integration of mobile cone-beam computed tomography (mCBCT) imaging. His most cited work, a 2021 study on ssRAB for diagnosing pulmonary parenchymal lesions (183 citations), established foundational evidence for the technology's clinical utility. Dr. Kalchiem-Dekel has also characterized the learning curve for robotic bronchoscopy (20 citations), demonstrating skills acquisition in high-volume centers, and explored its feasibility for biomarker identification in thoracic malignancies (16 citations). His prospective studies on transbronchial cryobiopsy and accessing aortopulmonary lymph nodes via robotic bronchoscopy highlight his innovative approaches to expanding diagnostic capabilities. With a portfolio of highly cited papers and ongoing investigations into radiation exposure and CT-to-body divergence, Dr. Kalchiem-Dekel is shaping the future of minimally invasive pulmonary diagnostics, making him a key figure for students and researchers interested in the intersection of robotics, imaging, and thoracic oncology.
