San Carlos – October 12, 2026 -- Noah Medical's Galaxy System achieved a 96.7% overall diagnostic yield under a strict definition in the MATCH 2 study, now published online ahead of print in the peer-reviewed journal Respiratory Medicine.
Study tested imaging-guided targeting in 31 patients with peripheral nodules
Thirty-one patients with peripheral pulmonary nodules underwent robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) with the Galaxy System. Researchers evaluated three-dimensional targeting accuracy using embedded digital tomosynthesis (DT) and integrated augmented fluoroscopy (AF). Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), which provides volumetric lung imaging during procedures, was used to confirm tool-in-lesion (TIL) placement.
