Image-Guided Lung Biopsy

Image-Guided Lung Biopsy - Treatments

Biopsy can be performed in one of several ways:

CT guided biopsy- the tumour is localised with CT and a small needle is inserted through the skin to remove tissue from the tumour
Bronchoscopy- a flexible tube with a camera is inserted through your nose/ mouth and into the windpipe to access the tumour for biopsy
Surgery- remove the tumour lesion entirely
