Figure 2

Representative bronchoscopy images from two patients using (from top to bottom) normal white light videobronchoscopy (WLB, panels a and f); HD-bronchoscopy (panels b and g); HD+ i-scan 1: HD bronchoscopy with surface enhancement (panels c and h); HD+ i-scan2: HD bronchoscopy with surface- and tone enhancement (panels d and i) and autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) in twin mode with WLB image on the left and AFB on the right (panels e and j). The bronchoscopic images on the left are from a patient with a (recurrent) squamous cell non small cell lung carcinoma in the mid trachea on the left lateral wall. The images on the on the right show a abnormal vascular pattern. Pathology from this site showed squamous metaplasia, some fibrosis and signs of active inflammation.
