MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center now offers a technology called navigational bronchoscopy that allows physicians to diagnose abnormal growths (nodule) in the lungs with even more precision than they were able to with previous technology. A navigational bronchoscopy guides pulmonologists through a patient’s airways directly to the target nodule using technology similar to that of a GPS. From there, they can take tissue samples from regions of the lung that were previously unreachable. Watch

Navigational Bronchoscopy is a new procedure in the Pine Belt that allows doctors to more precisely direct biopsies in the lungs, which leads to a earlier diagnosis for lung cancer patients.

Raggio, M.D., F.C.C.P, a pulmonologist at Forrest General and Hattiesburg Clinic. | Forrest General Hospital
