High-definition Videobronchoscopy in Sarcoidosis

Summary

In the last few years, high-definition (HD) videobronchoscopy has become widely available in the market and will progressively become the standard of care for airway inspection and sampling, as it provides substantially higher resolution images as compared to conventional white light bronchoscopy. Furthermore, in combination with improved video processor units, some HD videobronchoscopes offer post-processing real-time image enhancement (i-scan technology). Preliminary studies, performed in the setting of lung cancer, suggest that HD bronchoscopy with optical image enhancement (OE) may result in better detection of subtle vascular abnormalities in the airways, which are often associated with preneoplastic lesions. We hypothesize that HD videobronchoscopy could help identify bronchial involvement from sarcoidosis before it is (plainly) visible by conventional bronchoscopy.
