The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how often atelectasis occurs during a
bronchoscopy. Atelectasis is area(s) of lung that are not getting fully filled with air and
may cause difficulty breathing.

This is an investigational study. The bronchoscopy procedure will be performed as part of
your standard of care.

Up to 57 participants will be enrolled on this study. All participants will take part at MD
Anderson.

If you agree to take part in this study, you will have standard clinical tests to check the
status of the disease and to look for lymph nodes to which the disease has spread. This will
be done using bronchoscopy. You will sign separate consent forms for these procedures.

After the bronchoscopy, the study staff will take pictures of your lung by using the same
probe which was used during bronchoscopy. This will add about 3-5 minutes to the procedure
time.

For the purposes of this study, information about you (such as your medical history and
demographic information (age, sex, race, and so on) will be collected along with the results
of the clinical tests that are being performed as part of your standard of care.

Your active participation in the study will be over after your bronchoscopy. However, the
study staff will continue to collect information about your health from your medical record
indefinitely (without a set time limit).

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Adult patients (>18 years) undergoing bronchoscopy with radial EBUS for peripheral
lung lesions

2. Recent CT performed no more than 4 weeks prior to the bronchoscopy

3. Voluntary informed consent to participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with baseline lung consolidation, interstitial changes or lung masses (> 3 cm
in diameter) in dependent areas of the lung as seen on most recent CT

2. Pregnancy

3. Ascites

4. Known diaphragmatic paralysis
