Technology in navigating to peripheral pulmonary nodules has improved in recent years. The recent integration of a robotic platform using shape-sensing technology and mobile cone-beam computed tomography imaging technology has enhanced confidence in sampling lesions with intraprocedural imaging by complimenting the pre-planned navigation to peripheral pulmonary nodules. We present 2 cases using the software integration that improved the robotic catheter positioning to allow for diagnostic specimens to be obtained in the initial biopsies.
