Inclusion Criteria

• >=18 years of age
• Suspected malignant peripheral lung lesion with an indication for a
bronchoscopic diagnostic work-up
• Solid part of the lesion must be >10 mm
• Largest dimension of lesion size on CT equal to or less than 30 mm
• Bronchus sign on pre-procedural CT or estimated confidence for successful
navigation to the nodule resulting in a r-EBUS signal
• Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

• Inability or non-willingness to provide informed consent
• Patients with an endobronchial visible lung tumor on bronchoscopic inspection
• Patients in which the target lesion is within reach of the linear EBUS scope
• Failure to comply with the study protocol
• Patients with known allergy for fluorescein or risk factors for an allergic
reaction
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women
• Patients with hemodynamic instability
• Patients with refractory hypoxemia
• Patients with a therapeutic anticoagulant that cannot be held for an
appropriate interval before the procedure
• Patients who are unable to tolerate general anesthesia according to the
anesthesiologist
• Patient undergoing chemotherapy as several chemotherapies have fluorescent
