The tube, CC, is used instead in bronchoscopy. n the larger bronchi are easy to find with the broncho-cope; but a relatively small intruder which fallsnto the lowest and smallest bronchus it can enter,dmost at the periphery of the lung, is often verylifEcult to find not only because of the smallnessif the bronchial branch, but because of the greatlumber of such branches. Therefore, the mostaccurate radiographic localization becomes of the;reatest aid. For this purpose the four greatestlids are: A lateral radiograph, triangulation fromadiographic exposures in different positions, the3oyce caUpers (Fig. 1155), and the authors system ofuperimposing a proper sized
