Cover Story: The state of the art for examining lymph nodes in a lung cancer patient involves using an endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) bronchoscope. New image-guided systems provide guidance for bronchoscope navigation but offer no assistance for guiding EBUS localization. We propose a method for registering a patient’s chest CT scan to live surgical EBUS views, thereby facilitating accurate image-guided EBUS bronchoscopy.  Patient results demonstrate the method’s effectiveness. We also demonstrate the method’s use in an image-guided system designed for guiding bronchoscope navigation and EBUS localization. View this paper
