Abstract

An image processing workstation can create virtual bronchoscopic simulation from computed tomography (CT) images, even those taken at another facility. This workstation is versatile and provides benefits that other specialized devices do not have. It can be introduced more easily than a specialized virtual bronchoscopic device because it is widely available and is usually incorporated with multi-detector row CT equipment.
