Description
図6には、気管支鏡40、針案内部44及びガイドワイヤー46が図5の配置にある、鈍角な拡張器52の使用状態が示されている。拡張器52を使用して、気管支又はその他の肺通路の壁に対し外傷を生じさせることなく、システムの前進を助けることができる。
映像化に関し、殆どの肺学研究所は、方向及び深さを確認し得るよう迅速に90°回転させることのできる実時間蛍光透視法を採用している。これと代替的に、バイオプシー又はその他の術を行う前、実時間CATスキャンを使用して、患者の肺及び縦隔領域の断面像を得ることができる。像スライスが3ないし5mmと狭小であり、また、その像スライスが胸部を横断する面を切るならば、ユーザは、針がその平面に入るときを、及びターゲットに対する二次元座標を視覚化することができる。残念なことに、実時間CT装置は一般的ではない。このため、本発明の別の形態において、極く少量の放射線不透過性染料マーカは又は金属の放射線不透過性マーカを細い経胸部針を介して送り出し、その位置を確認し且つマーカを明確な指標として使用し、経気管支針吸引システムを気管支鏡を通して導くことができる。経胸部送り出しは、全体として、遥かにより正確ではあるが、装置の輪郭外形は、肺壁の損傷を避け得るように小さくなければならないであろう。
