Bronchoscopy

This movie requires Flash Player 9

 

The Bronchoscopy Simulation allows users to move the bronchoscope throughout the tracheo-bronchial tree by clicking on the directional arrows under the “Bronchoscopic view” at the right of the simulation. Clicking on the labels (A-Z) on the “Bronchoscopic view” provides details of the structures. Navigation is aided by the “Bronchial Tree Navigational Map” on the left of the simulation, which shows the current location of the bronchoscope as an orange line in the airway.
