Abstract

Background: Bronchoscopic imaging has evolved remarkably over the past three decades, transforming lung cancer diagnostics and enabling earlier, more precise interventions. While white light bronchoscopy (WLB) remains foundational,it suffers from limited sensitivity for early, flat, or subtle lesions. The emergence of image-enhanced modalities—including autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB), narrow band imaging (NBI), I-Scan, and digital chromoendoscopy—has markedly expanded the bronchoscopist’s diagnostic arsenal.
