Exam mapping & scope

This chapter covers diagnostic approaches to peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) using radial endobronchial ultrasound (rEBUS), electromagnetic navigation (EMN), and robotic‑assisted bronchoscopy (RAB). It aligns with AABIP IP Board domains on peripheral bronchoscopy indications, imaging/navigation, anesthesia/ventilation strategies, complications, radiation safety, and evidence interpretation.
