Magnisity provides a robotic guidance platform for lung endoscopy that uses patented disposable deformation sensors to map lung geometry in real time and align it with pre‑operative imaging. The system enables simultaneous use of diagnostic and therapeutic instruments, improving navigation precision, reducing procedure time, and lowering treatment costs for pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons.

Problem
Accurate navigation during lung endoscopy is hindered by CT-to-body divergence, making it difficult for clinicians to align pre‑operative imaging with the dynamic shape of living tissue. This leads to reduced precision, longer procedures, and higher costs for diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary conditions.
Solution
Magnisity offers a robotic guidance platform that integrates real‑time deformation sensing with endoscopic tools to align imaging and anatomy during bronchoscopy. Patented disposable sensors capture the exact shape and location of the lung as it moves, broadcasting this data to the surgeon’s console. The system supports simultaneous use of multiple devices, enhancing accuracy and enabling both diagnostic and therapeutic actions in a single procedure. By eliminating reliance on static CT maps, the platform improves precision, shortens procedure time, and reduces overall treatment costs.
Target Audience
Primary customers are pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, and hospital systems that perform navigational bronchoscopy and other minimally invasive lung procedures.
