nCLE imaging facilitates real-time granuloma visualization. Blinded raters accurately and consistently recognized granulomas on nCLE-imaging and distinguished nCLE granuloma criteria from malignancy. Our data show the potential of nCLE as a real-time bronchoscopic guidance tool for lung nodule analysis.
