Fig. 1.17 Horizontal–vertical pattern

Fig. 1.18 Horizontal–oblique pattern
Horizontal–oblique pattern: the bronchus advances nearly
parallel to the axial CT images and further branches obliquely. When the distal bronchus advances further in an oblique direction from the proximal branch to parallel to the axial CT images, on the bronchial branch diagram, the proximal bronchus branches into the distal bronchi as observed oblique from the axis of the proximal bronchus. We consider the oblique bronchus advances to which the other surrounding bronchus is close, parallel, or on the opposite side. Because it branches obliquely as observed from the direction of the axis of the proximal bronchus running horizontally, we call the direction of the oblique
bronchus as the dial of the clock. For example, it is “branching in 2 o’clock direction.”
[Representative case 1 (Fig.1.18): spur of right B3biβx
and B3biβy]. In this case, there are two branches of the
horizontal medial branch (B3biβy) and the cranial lateral branch (B3biβx), branched from the right B3biβ running in the horizontal direction. The cranial lateral branch (B3biβx: ) is located close to B1 running vertically to the cranial direction and has its proximal orice close to B3a, as shown in Fig.1.18. B3biβx is advancing in the direction of 1 o’clock. In addition, the horizontal medial branch (B3biβy: ) advances far from B1 and has its proximal

orice far from B3a. As shown in the gure, it is presumed that B3biβy branches in the 7 o’clock direction of B3biβ.
[Representative case 2 (Fig.
1.19): spur of right B2a and
B2b].
The branch advancing in the direction nearly parallel to the
CT section is visualized as long on the axial CT images. The length of the branch branching diagonally is usually short in the axial CT images. By comparing their lengths, we may infer the angle of the branch (e.g., right B2a).
Compared with the length of the right B2b, the length of B2a
was about half on the same axial CT slice. It can be deduced that B2a advances obliquely upward, and B2a in actual bronchoscopic nding branches obliquely upward, implying that B2a branched in the 1 o’clock direction and B2b branched in the 7 o’clock direction.
We need to think about where the tip of the bronchoscope is
located.
[Representative case 3 (Fig.1.20): spur of right B4bi and
B4bii and B4biiα and B4biiβ].
In this case, the tip of the bronchoscope is directed forward
in the right middle lobe bronchus, with the upper side being cranial side, the lower side being the caudal side, the right side being the lateral side, and the left side being the medial side. Consider whether the traced bronchus is close with which branch of the surrounding branches, is parallel with which branch of the surrounding branches, or is opposite with which branch of the surrounding branches. In this case, B4bi is advancing in the cranial and ventral directions, and close to B5 (11 o’clock direction),
4
bii is advancing in the caudal and dorsal directions,
and B and opposite to B5 (5 o’clock direction; the spur between
4
bi and B4bii runs from lower left-hand to upper right-
B hand). Furthermore, B4bii branches into B4biiα in the cra­nial direction, opposite to B5, and B4biiβ in the caudal direction, close to B
5
(medial; the spur between B4biiα and B4biiβ runs from upper left-hand to lower right-hand).
Considering the bronchus branching from the bronchi that
runs horizontally.
Bronchi that run in the horizontal direction (horizontal
branch) can be visualized as long on the axial CT images. Points to consider when drawing a bronchus branching from the horizontal bronchus are as follows:
1. First, in the proximal site of the horizontal bronchus,
we are standing perpendicular to axial CT slices. It resembles the state in which the tip of the broncho­scope bending with the up-/down-angle lever enters into the horizontal bronchus (B6).
2. Imagine that you are looking at the branch of the next
bronchial generation (horizontal branch) from the lumen of the horizontal bronchus. It is the same as looking at the next horizontal branch from the bron­choscope (the spur between B6bi and B6bii).
3. When branching further horizontally from the bronchi
in the horizontal direction, it diverges to the left and right branch as observed from the horizontal bronchi (Figs.1.21 and 1.22).
4. When branching further from the horizontal branch
toward the cranial and caudal directions, it branches into the up and down branch as observed from the direction of the proximal horizontal branch (Fig.1.23).

Points to remember while drawing bronchi in four patterns. Vertical pattern: draws the angle of the spur at the bifurca-
tion of the bronchi on the axial CT images.
In the case of a horizontal pattern, consider which direction
(e.g., cranial side/caudal side, lateral side/medial side) the upper, lower, left, and right in the direction of the bron­choscopic view are.
Horizontal–horizontal pattern: draw distal branches so
that they are divided into the left and right as observed from the long axis of the proximal bronchus running horizontally. Horizontal–vertical pattern: draw distal branches so
that they are divided into up and down as observed from the long axis of a proximal bronchus running horizontally (Fig.1.23).
Horizontal–oblique pattern: draw how oblique the
bronchus runs and which bronchus in the vicinity is approaching to or departing from the bronchus.
Points of tracing the bronchi (middle lobe, lingular seg-
ment, or bilateral lower lobes) that advance to the cau­dal direction and, then, turn to the cranial direction.
Axial CT images.
• Reverse the CT images horizontally for middle lobe/ lingular segment/lower lobe. After reversing, these CT images can be observed from the cranial side.
• When the bronchoscope moves toward the caudal side rst and changes the direction to the cranial side, focus on tracing the bronchus.
• As a representative case (e.g., B6a and B8a), the bronchus moves in the caudal direction and, then, turns to the cra­nial direction. In this condition, focus on the following: B6 advances in the caudal direction and branches into B6a in the cranial direction.
• Right B6a will be explained as the following represen-
tative example (Fig.1.24):
• On the fourth photo from the top of Fig.1.24, the CT
image, which is ipped horizontally. B6a branches into B6ai (red) in the cranial direction and B66ii (yellow) in the dorsal direction.
B6aii advances in the dorsal direction (this bronchus
branches to the lung eld of the caudal side of S6a) close to B6b and B6c; B6aii is located at a position close to B6b and B6c in B6a on the bronchial branch diagram.
As B6a is diverging to the cranial branch of B6ai in a direction far from the basal bronchus, B6ai is located distant from the basal bronchus in B6a on the bronchial branch diagram.
The correlation of positions of B6ai and B6aii is opposite between the bronchial branch diagram on the axial CT images and the bronchoscopic image at the orice of B6 as observed from the intermediate trunk.
MPR Image (Another Case)
1. Rotating the coronal image of multiplanner reconstruc-
tion (MPR) created from the CT images by 180° and
observing at the left lung (right gure), it is a view look-
ing down on the patient from the cranial side when the
head of the patient is lying in the supine position during
bronchoscopy (Fig.1.25).
2. Tracking B6a on the coronal image MPR rotated 180°. B6aii, distributing over the caudal part of S6a, advances in the
dorsal–horizontal direction close to B6b and B6c and
slightly medial direction. B6aii in the B6a (lower left g-
ure, lower right drawing) is located in the vicinity of the
basal bronchus (1 o’clock direction) on the bronchial
branch diagram (Fig.1.26).
In the bronchial branch diagram, B6ai (distributing over the cranial part of S6a) in the B6a is far from B6b, B6c, and basal bronchus and slightly lateral (7 o’clock direction on the bronchial branch diagram). When using the MPR coronal images, you can draw the branch as it is.
Summary of the reading CT anatomy using the axial CT images
1. Follow the bronchi as to which subsegment the lesion is
located in.
2. Reverse horizontally or rotate the CT image (Fig.1.27).
For lesions in the left and right lower lobe, right middle
lobe, and left lingular segment, reverse the left and right CT images.
In the right upper lobe, rotate the CT images counter-
clockwise 90° (so that the lateral chest wall is downward).
In the left superior segment, rotate the CT images clock-
wise 90° (so that the lateral chest wall is downward).
3. Follow the slices gradually from the lobar bronchus to the
peripheral pulmonary lesion.

4. We will follow the bronchi that branches on the CT images and, then, recognize the position where the lobar bronchus exists and further recognize the position of the next bifurcation. I will repeat pursuing bifurcation of this bronchial route (Fig.1.28).
5. On the reversed/rotated CT images, while the bronchial branch is running in the craniocaudal (vertical) direction, the spur direction at the bifurcation is drawn at precisely the same angle (vertical pattern).
6. On the reversed/rotated CT images, while the bronchial branch is running in the horizontal direction, the direc­tion (cranial side/caudal side, dorsal side/ventral side, lateral side/medial side) in the eld of view observed from the bronchoscope is conrmed. Furthermore, we will consider the direction in which the bronchus is advancing, which another bronchus is approaching to/ departing from the traced bronchus (horizontal–horizon-

Analysis of internal structures of pulmonary peripheral lesions [13].
Type the classication of EBUS images (Fig.1.29).
When the ultrasonic probe (20 MHz, radial type;
Olympus) reaches the peripheral pulmonary lesion, it can be visualized. High-frequency ultrasonic waves are traveling into the peripheral pulmonary lesion, repeating reections, and scattering; then, the EBUS image is created from the ultrasonic wave returned from the tissue to the ultrasonic probe. At present, we classify an EBUS image, which has higher resolution than CT and MRI, by assessing the internal echo, patency of the blood vessels, and hyperechoic points and lines because of the reection of air with high-frequency ultrasonic waves. This type of classication estimates benign or malignant and so on.

Type I: Internal echo is homogeneous.
Type Ia: Internal echo is homogeneous, and the blood
vessels are patent without compression. We suspect acute inammation such as pneumonia (relatively soft lesion that is deduced from the blood vessels without compression).
Type Ib: Internal echo is homogeneous, and no blood ves-
sels are found. We suspect chronic inammation (rela­tively hard lesion) such as organized pneumonia.
Type II: Hyperechoic points exist inside the lesion.
Type IIa: Hyperechoic points exist inside the lesion, and
no blood vessels are found. Ultrasound reected by the air inside the alveoli displays hyperechoic points. I suspect well-differentiated adenocarcinoma primarily based on the ground-glass opacity.
Type IIb: Hyperechoic points exist inside the lesion, and
the blood vessels are present. As the amount of air in the alveoli decreases, the ultrasonic wave enhances the propagation, and the blood vessels in the lesion are vis­ible. I suspect well-differentiated adenocarcinoma pri­marily based on part-solid lesions.
Type III: Internal echo is heterogeneous.
Type IIIa: Linear echoes are scattered with heterogeneous
internal echoes. I think that the linear echo corresponds to the air in the compressed bronchus and so on. Several lung cancer types are classied as type IIIa.
Type IIIb: Internal echoes are heterogeneous, and no linear
echoes are found. We estimate the state where cancer cells are densely present and the air in the lesion is decreasing. Overall, I suspect poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma.
Morphology of the bronchial branch.
Lateral branch (daughter branch).
The form of the bronchial branching is divided into two sys-
tems. The main system of the bronchial branching is to branch bronchi symmetrically in approximately the same diameter repeatedly from the hilum to the periphery. Another system of the bronchial branching (lateral branch) is to branch bronchi in different diameters, angulated approximately 90°. The lateral branch (daughter branch) branches into the half diameter against the counterpart and at a wide angle close to 90°, primarily distributed in the lungs close to the hilum; Hayward etal. [14] reported a lateral pathway; Yamashita [2] reported a daughter branch; Ito [15] and Onuma [16] called it a lateral branch; and this book describes it as the lateral branch.
In Japan, the lateral branch (daughter branch) has been inves-
tigated since the 1980s. Kato [11] performed detailed measurements in stretch xed lungs, and the anatomical features of the lateral branch were the following: (1) the average value of the branching angle was 56.3°
± 19.6° between the daughter branch and the parent branch (the proximal bronchus by one generation), 21.0° ± 14.9° between the main axis branch (the counterpart of the daughter bronchus) and the parent branch (the proximal bronchus by one generation), and 34.8° ± 16.1° between the proximal bronchus and the next distal bronchus of the symmetrical branching system (Fig.1.30); (2) the inner diameter ratio was 0.54 ± 0.11 between the daughter branch and the parent branch, 0.91 ± 0.10 between the

main axis branch (the proximal bronchus by one genera­tion) and the parent branch, and 0.77 ± 0.15 between the main axis branch (the proximal bronchus by one genera­tion) and the next distal bronchus with symmetrical branching; and (3) the ratio of the diameter between the daughter branch and the branched counterpart is <0.75 and between the symmetrical branching bronchi is
0.75–1.30.
Kato etal. [10] reported that the lung parenchyma from the
visceral pleura about 1.5-cm distance was classied as the outer layer, the lung parenchyma from the hilum to the sub­segmental bronchus as the inner layer, and the layer between the outer layer and inner layer as the middle layer. Lateral bronchi were common in the inner and middle lay­ers, and symmetrical bronchi are common in the outer layer. Ito [9] reported that the frequency of the parent branch with the daughter branch closest to the hilum was in the order of the IV bronchus (sub-subsegmental bronchus) > III> V> VI> II and the diameter ratio between the daugh­ter bronchus with the parent branch was 0.55 ± 0.09. Hence, criteria for suspecting lateral branches are considered as follows: (1) it should be in the inner and middle layers; (2) the diameter ratio of the branched counterpart to the lateral bronchus is <0.75; and (3) the branching angle is steep.
Although there seems to be no stipulation of the description
of the lateral branch at present, the summarized Chairman’s comment [12] in the Symposium “Over the daughter branch” in the 11th Japanese Society for Bronchology recommended attaching (star, asterisk) on the right shoulder of the parent branch. Based on this pro­posal, we decided that lateral branches should be marked with (star, asterisk) on the right shoulder of the name of the branch and should not count the generation of the lat­eral branch. For example, the lateral branch branched from left B3a is described as left B3a∗.
In the case that the parent branch (the proximal bronchus by
one generation) is a common trunk, for example, when a lateral branch comes out from B10b + B10c, it is described in this book as B10b + B10c∗.
The ultrasonic probe (transducer) used for EBUS-GS.
At present, the ultrasonic probe used for EBUS-GS is
mechanical radial scanning [17]. A transducer at the tip of the probe is rotated to perform circular scanning (Fig.1.31).
