Bronchoscopy is a procedure to look directly at the airways in the lungs using a thin camera called a bronchoscope. It can even be used to perform lung biopsies. However, with general bronchoscopy, pulmonologists can only access the larger airways of the lungs and are unable to navigate the very small airways where abnormal, possibly cancerous, nodules may be.
