CLA Bronchoscopy
with regions of reduced Fluorescence. By Prof. Dr. J. A. Nakhosteen, Augusta-Kranken-Anstalt, Bochum. In keeping with the 20-year-old tradition of up-dating the Nakhosteen Broncho Boy Bronchoscopy Teaching Model, the latest innovation is the auto-fluorescing endoscopic systems for use with the Light Imaging Fluorescence Endoscope (LIFE Æ Xillix/Olympus), or SAFE (1000 Pentax). The bronchial mucosa appears normal with conventional (white light) bronchoscopy, but on being illuminated in the fluorescent mode, emits a green image idential to that of normal mucosa. The trachea and left-sided bronchial branches appear normal in the fluorescence mode, but distinct areas of reduced fluorescence can be observed on the right-sided bronchial tree (upper lobe spur, middle lobe spur, right main bronchus and RB 9/10 spur). Endoscopists using to the LIFE-System or SAFE 1000 for the first time can practice switching from white light to fluorescent mode, and in the latter mode, learn
