Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved system and method for minimally invasive lung surgery. SOLUTION: This system 10 and a method 160 for minimally invasive lung surgery utilizes a bronchoscope 36 including a multi-channel catheter 30, 86, 140 disposed in a channel 90 in the bronchoscope. The distal end 30b, 40a, 82a, 104, 112 of the multi-channel catheter 30, 86, 140 can be tracked in the tracking image by a transmission antenna 44, 87, 94, 96, 106, 114 disposed in the position of the distal end 30b, 40a, 82a, 104, 112 during the surgical treatment.
