Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Decriptive study of diagnostic performance of HD-bronchoscopy using different<br /><br>imaging techniques in comparison to standard white light bronchoscopy and<br /><br>autofluorescence bronchoscopy in determining epithelial changes, changes in<br /><br>vascularity and tumour margins.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>when differences are established between the different bronchcopy modes a power<br /><br>analysis may be performed to determine the feasibility of a prospectively<br /><br>designed study to investigate the diagnostic performance.</p><br>
