  • Lesson 01/05

Airway and Lung Parenchyma

Please note, nCLE is used in conjunction with transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) procedures to puncture and image lung nodules, and fits through a transbronchial needle with an inner diameter of 0.91 mm.

You may review the various image criteria and videos before doing some self training questions.
