Bronchoscopy
This procedure uses a scope to look directly inside the lung airways to help with diagnosis and sample testing.
A bronchoscopy is an examination of your airways with a long and flexible tube fitted with a camera and light called a bronchoscope.
This procedure may help your doctor diagnose your condition and prescribe a treatment. Sometimes biopsies (tissue samples) are taken to help diagnose your illness.
