US STUDIES: 2024 - 2026

Across three bronchoscopic navigation platforms studied in the U.S. between 2024 and 2026, the Galaxy System delivered the highest and most consistent diagnostic yield under the American Thoracic Society's strict definition.

The Galaxy System, through its 3D visualization and tool targeting, uniquely enables physicians to correct for CT-to-body and tool-tissue divergence in real-time. These real-time adjustments help physicians to deliver best-in-class diagnostic yields while fitting into hospitals' current imaging infrastructure and workflows.

MATCH II Stats_Stacked_v2

In a prospective multi-center study, experienced Galaxy operators achieved a 96.7% strict diagnostic yield, with 96.7% concordance between embedded digital tomosynthesis and CBCT confirmation. MATCH 2 demonstrates what is achievable when experienced operators use the Galaxy System within an optimized imaging workflow.

Cleveland Data

Across 100 consecutive cases and 116 nodules averaging only 12.9 mm, the Galaxy System achieved a 90% strict diagnostic yield and 98% tool-in-lesion. This experience moves beyond controlled feasibility and demonstrates consistent targeting and diagnostic performance in a demanding, everyday clinical population that included very small lesions

Federbush Data-1

Northwell Health’s early single-center experience included 60 patients and 67 nodules, with an average lesion size of 21.8 mm and an 88% strict diagnostic yield. This study provides an additional institutional assessment of the Galaxy System’s safety and diagnostic performance, demonstrating that strong early results were reproducible beyond the first-in-human and original early-adopter sites.

Roshen Stats_v2

Seventy consecutive community-hospital cases achieved an 89% strict diagnostic yield. Procedures were financially viable in both the endoscopy suite and the operating room, with cost-benefit ratios of 1.5 versus 1.1. The study demonstrates that advanced robotic bronchoscopy can be both clinically effective and operationally sustainable in a community setting.

Cicenia Stats-1

Across 190 patients and 223 nodules averaging 15.1 mm, the largest early clinical dataset presented here reported an 83% strict diagnostic yield. Its distinctive contribution is demonstrating performance at scale and showing how precise targeting and tool-in-lesion imaging can provide added confidence

Frontier-1

FRONTIER was the first-in-human evaluation of the Galaxy System. Although the Australian investigators had no previous robotic bronchoscopy experience, they successfully reached every target, confirmed tool-in-lesion in every case, and achieved an 89.5% strict to 94.7% intermediate diagnostic yield. These outcomes illustrate how image-embedded robotics and an integrated workflow can simplify procedural decision-making, improve efficiency, and potentially reduce cognitive burden
