Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, "Advances in Interventional Pulmonology", published for the Diagnostics journal, aims to explore the latest advancements and cutting-edge techniques in the rapidly evolving field of interventional pulmonology. This issue will focus on innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to treat pulmonary diseases, particularly in minimally invasive procedures. Topics of interest include novel bronchoscopic techniques, advanced imaging modalities, and the integration of artificial intelligence in pulmonary diagnostics. Additionally, the issue seeks to highlight the role of interventional pulmonology in managing lung cancer, airway diseases, and complex pleural disorders. Contributions from experts in the field will showcase advancements in endoscopic ultrasound, navigational bronchoscopy, and robotic-assisted procedures, emphasizing the clinical impact and future directions of these technologies. By combining high-quality research articles, reviews, and case studies, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state and future frontiers in interventional pulmonology, offering valuable insights for clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals.
