Cryobiopsy

Cryobiopsy is a medical procedure used to obtain tissue samples from the body, often the lungs or other organs. It involves using a special device that cools a small probe with extremely cold temperatures, causing the tissue to freeze and stick to the probe. The frozen tissue is then gently pulled out for detailed examination under a microscope. This technique allows doctors to collect larger and higher-quality samples compared to traditional methods, helping them diagnose diseases like infections, cancer, or inflammatory conditions more accurately and with less damage to surrounding tissue.
