      Kildahl-Andersen, Arne; Hofstad, Erlend Fagertun; Sorger, Hanne; Amundsen, Tore; Langø, Thomas; Leira, Håkon Olav; Kiss, Gabriel Hanssen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background: Bronchoscopy for peripheral lung lesions may involve image sources such as computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopy, radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS), and virtual/electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy. ...
    • Microbiological diagnosis of pleural infections: a comparative evaluation of a novel syndromic real-time PCR panel 

      Kommedal, Øyvind; Eagan, Tomas Mikal Lind; Fløtten, Øystein; Leegaard, Truls Michael; Siljan, William Ward; Fardal, Hilde; Bø, Bjørnar; Grøvan, Fredrik; Larssen, Kjersti Wik; Kildahl-Andersen, Arne; Hjetland, Reidar; Tilseth, Rune Hørgård; Hareide, Sølvi Kristine Øyen; Tellevik, Marit Gjerde; Dyrhovden, Ruben (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Current microbial diagnostics for pleural infections are insufficient. Studies using 16S targeted next-generation sequencing report that only 10%–16% of bacteria present are cultured and that 50%–78% of pleural fluids ...
    • A novel clip-on device for electromagnetic tracking in endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy 

      Kildahl-Andersen, Arne; Hofstad, Erlend Fagertun; Peters, Karlijn; Van Beek, Gregory; Sorger, Hanne; Amundsen, Tore; Langø, Thomas; Leira, Håkon Olav (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Introduction The established method for assessment of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes is endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy (EBUS) with needle aspirations. Previously, we presented an electromagnetic navigation ...
