Yale Medicine physicians are using robotic bronchoscopy instead of traditional bronchoscopy for lung cancer diagnosis. Robotic bronchoscopy allows them to better reach smaller parts of the lungs. During a robotic bronchoscopy, the doctor uses a controller at a console to operate a robotic arm, which then guides the bronchoscope’s thin, flexible tube through the airways.
Something odd turned up in one of Lawrence Phillips’s routine health screenings in 2008.
