Getting ready for fellowship here and I get lost quite quickly on bronchs. Any recommendations for text/website where I can learn the anatomy? Netter aint cutting it. Rads texts aint cutting it. There is an atlas of bronchoscopy but its pricey as hell.

Thanks!

I think this is the kind of thing you really mostly just acquire by DOING. There are really only so many places you can get into and it's not that many and becomes easy to remember. It's the orientation that becomes key. Once I'm in I always figure out where anterior is, remembering which structures are anterior structures, and do my best to maintain this on-screen orientation for the duration of the procedures, always visiting the segments in the same order each time.

It's also helpful, though not necessary, to learn them by their surgical number, makes conversations with your Thoracic colleagues often a bit easier.
