Is it possible to compensate for breathing motion while navigating a 2-mm soft magnetic catheter deep within the bronchial tree? In our new paper, we demonstrate that with a specific magnetization profile and the right magnetic field sequence, this is possible. This is another little step towards robotically reaching peripheral lung tumours to improve healthcare outcomes for patients suffering from lung cancer.
