1. Understand the current diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopic techniques utilized by interventional pulmonologists 2. Recognize the normal and abnormal imaging appearance following both diagnostic and interventional bronchoscopy procedures

1. Introduction 2. Diagnostic bronchoscopy – description of technique and associated imaging findings 3. Interventional bronchoscopy - The following procedures will be discussed with their associated imaging findings: - Transbronchial biopsy (e.g., EBUS, electromagnetic navigation) - Mechanical debulking (e.g., rigid bronchoscopy, balloon bronchoplasty) - Bronchial stent placement and management - Ablative therapies (e.g., argon laser, cryotherapy, electrocautery) - Endobronchial valve placement (e.g., endoscopic lung volume reduction, bronchopleural fistula treatment) - Bronchial thermoplasty for management of asthma - Fiducial marker placement for stereotactic radiosurgery
