Abstract: As low-dose computed tomography(CT) is applied more and more in high-risk populations for lung cancer screening, the detectable rate of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) also increases. Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) is a tool that can diagnose, locate and treat PPLs. Because of its higher safety and reliability, the application of ENB may change the methods of diagnosis and treatment for lung diseases in the future so as to alleviate and even cure lung cancer, and path a way for the treatment of lung cancer.

Key words: electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy, peripheral pulmonary lesions, diagnosis, treatment
