Virtual Bronchoscopic Pathfinder (VBP): An Open-Source Web-Based System for Airway Segmentation, Cost-Field Path Planning, and Cross-Device 3D Navigation

2026-03-20

Abstract excerpt

Virtual Bronchoscopic Navigation (VBN) is a critical tool for guiding bronchoscopes toward peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs), yet its widespread clinical adoption has been limited by the high cost of proprietary software and the fragility of segmentation-dependent path planning in distal airways. In this study, we present Virtual Bronchoscopic Pathfinder (VBP), a complete, open-source, web-based VBN system that...
