Advanced Bronchoscopy & Lung Biopsy

Pulmonary Associates of Dothan offers advanced bronchoscopy and lung biopsy procedures to help diagnose complex lung conditions with greater accuracy and minimally invasive techniques. These procedures allow our specialists to evaluate lung nodules, masses, and airway abnormalities with precision.

What is Advanced Bronchoscopy?

Advanced bronchoscopy uses state-of-the-art imaging and navigation technology to guide instruments deep into the lungs. This allows physicians to reach areas that were previously difficult or impossible to access using traditional bronchoscopy.

Ion Robotic Bronchoscopy System

Pulmonary Associates is proud to offer the Ion Robotic Bronchoscopy System, a cutting-edge technology that enhances diagnostic accuracy for lung biopsies. The Ion system provides:

• Robotic-assisted precision and stability
• Real-time 3D navigation of the lung airways
• Improved access to small and peripheral lung nodules
• Minimally invasive approach with faster recovery

This technology helps our physicians detect lung disease earlier and more accurately.

When Is Lung Biopsy Recommended?

Lung biopsy may be recommended for:

• Lung nodules or masses
• Suspicion of lung cancer
• Interstitial lung disease
• Unexplained lung abnormalities on imaging

If you have been referred for advanced bronchoscopy or lung biopsy, our team will guide you through every step of the process with expert care and personalized treatment planning.
