  • Abstract
    This paper describes a virtual endoscopic system designed for non-invasive bronchoscopy. This system uses computer graphics techniques to navigate inside the bronchial tree. Using these techniques, we can avoid invasive procedures such as conventional bronchoscopy in those cases where biopsy is not required
