Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation, Rigshospitalet, The Capital Region of Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Rationale: Flexible bronchoscopy is an operator-dependent procedure. An automatic bronchial identification system based on artificial intelligence (AI) could help bronchoscopists to perform more complete and structured procedures through automatic guidance.

Methods: 101 participants were included from six different continents at the European Respiratory Society annual conference in Milan, 9-13 September 2023.
