About
Anu Menon is a leading researcher in interventional pulmonology, with a primary focus on advancing bronchoscopic techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral lung lesions. Her major contributions center on integrating advanced imaging modalities with robotic-assisted platforms to improve procedural precision and patient outcomes. In her highly cited 2024 study, Menon demonstrated that adding mobile cone-beam computed tomography (mCBCT) to shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) significantly enhances the tool–lesion relationship, providing quantifiable improvements in navigation accuracy. This work, which has already garnered 18 citations, directly addresses a critical challenge in lung cancer diagnostics—ensuring reliable biopsy targeting. Menon’s research is notable for its rigorous methodology, analyzing data from over 100 cases to establish evidence-based protocols. Her achievements have positioned her as a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive pulmonary interventions, bridging the gap between robotic technology and real-time imaging. For students and researchers, Menon’s work exemplifies how translational studies can refine clinical practice, offering a roadmap for integrating novel imaging tools to boost diagnostic yield and reduce procedural risks.
