Cryobiopsy: Cryobiopsy : Insert a 1.1mm cryoprobe along the electromagnetic navigation catheter, obtain samples with at least 2 pieces each.
Forceps biopsy: Forceps biopsy:Insert 1.8mm forceps along the electromagnetic navigation catheter, obtain at least five tissue samples through precise clamping.
Study summary

Inclusion Criteria:
1. age 18 to 90 years;
2. pulmonary nodules detected by chest CT, suspected malignant nodules or unknown cause should be confirmed by biopsy;
3. chest CT showed that the nodule was located in the segmental bronchus and below, and the maximum diameter of the nodule was 8 mm to 30 mm.It was not accessible by conventional bronchoscopy;
4. if chest CT showed multiple pulmonary nodules, one of the pulmonary nodules was selected as the target lesion.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. contraindications to the bronchoscopy procedure;
2. high risk of bleeding, such as bronchial artery penetration or suspected lung metastasis of renal cell carcinoma;
3. electromagnetic source implanted in the body;
4. contraindications to anesthesia;
5. pregnant woman;
6. participated in other studies within three months and did not withdraw or finish, affect the observation of this study;
7. inability or unwillingness to provide informed consent or comply with the follow-up schedule.
Primary outcome measure(s)
Diagnostic yield — follow-up for 12 months The primary outcome was the diagnostic yield of ENB-guided cryobiopsy and forceps biopsy for diagnosing pulmonary lesions
