About
Dr. Hao-Chun Chang is a thoracic interventionalist whose work centers on the frontier of minimally invasive lung cancer diagnostics. His primary research focuses on improving the accuracy and safety of peripheral pulmonary nodule (PPN) biopsy, a critical step in early lung cancer detection. Dr. Chang’s major contribution is the pioneering integration of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with augmented fluoroscopy within a hybrid operating room, a technique detailed in his highly cited 2023 case series. This approach directly addresses the limitations of traditional bronchoscopy with radial EBUS, which often struggles with small or hard-to-reach nodules. By fusing real-time 3D imaging with live fluoroscopy, his method significantly enhances needle guidance, potentially reducing procedural risks and improving diagnostic yield. With 12 citations in a short period, this work is already shaping clinical practice. Dr. Chang’s achievements underscore a commitment to translating advanced imaging technology into tangible patient benefits, positioning him as a key innovator in the fight against lung cancer, Taiwan’s leading cause of cancer death.
