Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy
Medical education animation
This project involved the creation of a 3D medical animation explaining the principles behind Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy (ENB), a minimally invasive technique used to access peripheral lung lesions. The animation was designed to support clear, structured understanding of the system and workflow for professional audiences.
The challenge
ENB combines medical imaging, spatial navigation, and procedural tools that are difficult to grasp through static diagrams or verbal explanation alone.
​Key communication challenges included:
-
Visualising the bronchial tree in three dimensions
-
Explaining navigation beyond the reach of conventional bronchoscopy
-
Showing how CT data is translated into guided, real-world movement
The approach
Triken focused on translating the process into a clear visual narrative rather than a technical deep dive.
Key decisions included:
-
Reconstructing the bronchial tree in 3D to establish spatial context
-
Using motion to show scale reduction and access limitations
-
Clearly separating planning, navigation, and sampling phases
-
Maintaining a neutral, educational tone without exaggeration
The animation prioritised pacing, legibility, and visual continuity to ensure the process could be followed without medical jargon.
Deployment & outcome
The animation was produced as a standalone educational asset, suitable for professional presentations, internal communication, and medical education contexts. This sounds like we're trivializing what we did. I don't like it, we need to readjust certain things, but we'll do that tomorrow.
The final animation provided a clear, structured overview of ENB, helping audiences understand how navigation, guidance, and sampling work together within the procedure. The result was a professional, accurate visual explanation designed to support understanding rather than replace clinical detail.
