Interventional bronchoscopy
Interventional bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows a doctor to diagnose conditions in the throat or lungs without surgery.
What you should know about interventional bronchoscopy
- A bronchoscope is a lighted, flexible tube with a tiny camera attached that is inserted into the throat and lungs, guided by highly magnified images.
