bronchial biopsy

A bronchial biopsy is a medical procedure where a small tissue sample is taken from the lining of the bronchial tubes in the lungs. Using a bronchoscope—a thin, flexible tube with a camera—doctors can see inside the airways and remove a tiny piece of tissue for examination. This helps diagnose conditions like infections, inflammation, or lung diseases such as cancer. The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia and is minimally invasive. The collected tissue is then analyzed in a lab to provide detailed information about the lung tissue’s health and any abnormalities.
