About

Dr. Bryan Husta is a leading interventional pulmonologist whose research is revolutionizing the early detection and diagnosis of lung cancer through advanced robotic-assisted bronchoscopy. His work focuses on optimizing the precision, safety, and learning curve of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) and mobile cone-beam CT (mCBCT) guidance for sampling peripheral pulmonary lesions. His most cited paper, "Shape-Sensing Robotic-Assisted Bronchoscopy in the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Parenchymal Lesions" (183 citations), established the clinical utility of this technology. Dr. Husta has further refined the technique by demonstrating how multiplanar 3D fluoroscopy and mCBCT improve the tool-lesion relationship, and by characterizing the learning curve for skill acquisition in high-volume centers. His prospective studies have also pioneered the integration of transbronchial cryobiopsy into robotic procedures and explored its role in biomarker identification for thoracic malignancies. With over 295 total citations, Dr. Husta’s work is defining best practices for robotic bronchoscopy, transforming lung cancer diagnosis, and opening new avenues for minimally invasive staging and treatment.
