Transbronchial Biopsy

A transbronchial biopsy is a medical procedure used to collect small tissue samples from the lungs. During the procedure, a doctor inserts a thin tube called a bronchoscope into the patient's airways through the nose or mouth. This tool allows them to see the lung tissue and take biopsies from areas that may be affected by diseases, like infections or cancer. The samples are then examined in a lab to help diagnose conditions or assess any abnormalities. It’s a minimally invasive way to gain crucial information about lung health.
