About

Alessia Pedoto is a leading researcher in interventional pulmonology and thoracic imaging, with a focus on advancing the precision of robotic-assisted bronchoscopy. Her work centers on understanding and mitigating computed tomography-to-body divergence (CTBD)—the critical discrepancy between virtual and actual lesion locations during shape-sensing robotic bronchoscopy (ssRAB). In her landmark 2025 study, "Virtual vs. reality in cone-beam CT-guided robotic-assisted bronchoscopy," she systematically characterized the prevalence, types, and determinants of CTBD, revealing its profound impact on diagnostic accuracy. This research has already garnered 2 citations, underscoring its immediate relevance to the field. Pedoto’s contributions are pivotal for improving real-time navigation and lesion targeting, directly enhancing patient outcomes in lung cancer diagnosis. Her work bridges virtual planning and intraoperative reality, offering actionable insights for clinicians. As a rising authority, Pedoto is shaping the next generation of bronchoscopic techniques, making her research essential for students and practitioners seeking to optimize minimally invasive thoracic procedures.
