Summary
This study tested a mini-invasive camera that looks at tiny air sacs in the lungs during a routine bronchoscopy. The goal was to see if this imaging method could help diagnose diffuse lung diseases without needing a surgical biopsy. The study was stopped early, but it involved 38 adults with conditions like pulmonary fibrosis or sarcoidosis.
