About this trial
This is an investigator-initiated cluster randomized control trial. The primary objective is to compare the diagnostic yield of two Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared national robotic assisted bronchoscopy platforms - the Monarch™ Platform and the ION™ Endoluminal System - in participants undergoing bronchoscopy to evaluate peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs). Participants will undergo their scheduled robotic assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) using one of these platforms.
