HOW IT WORKS
1. SuperDimension's software creates a 3-D map of the lungs based on a patient's CT scans. Doctors mark targeted lesions.
2. A navigational catheter is placed in the lungs. A sensor guides the catheter to the lesion by comparing the tube's actual location to lesions on the map.
3. Once the catheter reaches the lesion, doctors take a tissue sample to later test for cancer. In the future, doctors can deliver drugs or radiation directly to the lesion via the catheter.
