As imaging in interventional pulmonology continues to evolve, physicians are gaining access to more advanced tools for lesion localization, procedural verification, and workflow management. Join Siemens Healthineers at AABIP 2026 to explore how integrated imaging technologies are helping support robotic bronchoscopy workflows.
During the breakfast symposium, Transforming Imaging with Ion, Cios Spin, and CIARTIC Move: Navigate with Greater Confidence Through an Integrated Workflow, Dr. Bradley Icard will discuss the evolution of imaging from conventional 2D fluoroscopy to intraoperative 3D cone-beam CT and robotic imaging with CIARTIC Move, the world’s first self-driving mobile 3D C-arm.
Through clinical cases, workflow examples, and practical procedural insights, attendees will learn how Cios Spin cone-beam CT, 3D reconstruction, lesion segmentation, and near real-time fluoroscopic overlay work together with Ion to support visualization throughout robotic bronchoscopy. The session will highlight how advanced imaging can help provide information about the lesion, tool position, and surrounding anatomy at the point of care.
Dr. Icard will also discuss how CIARTIC Move introduces automated, reproducible positioning and physician-controlled maneuverability, allowing the imaging system to move between procedural and imaging positions at the push of a button. Additional topics will include room setup, image-acquisition timing, patient positioning, projection selection, magnification, collimation, breath-hold consistency, team communication, and radiation awareness.
Attendees will gain practical insights into balancing image quality, workflow efficiency, and radiation management while considering how continued innovation in integrated visualization may help shape the future of image-guided bronchoscopy.
