About
Dr. Jen-Chung Ko is a leading interventional pulmonologist whose research centers on advanced diagnostic techniques for peripheral pulmonary nodules (PPNs), a critical area in early lung cancer detection. His major contribution lies in pioneering the use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-derived augmented fluoroscopy to guide biopsy procedures within a hybrid operating room. In his landmark 2023 case series, Dr. Ko demonstrated that this innovative approach significantly enhances the accuracy and safety of PPN biopsies compared to conventional bronchoscopy with radial endobronchial ultrasound. This work, which has already garnered 12 citations, addresses the longstanding challenge of sampling small, hard-to-reach nodules—a key factor in improving lung cancer survival rates. By integrating real-time 3D imaging with fluoroscopic guidance, his method reduces procedural risks and increases diagnostic yield, offering a transformative tool for clinicians. Dr. Ko’s achievements underscore his commitment to bridging technological innovation with clinical practice, making him a pivotal figure in the fight against lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer death in Taiwan and worldwide.
