- 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.

These criteria have been reported and assessed in clinical studies. Other criteria of interpretation might exist. Thus whenever possible, confirmatory evaluation via conventional histopathology or any other clinical information is recommended.
