For biopsy of indeterminate lung nodules, navigational bronchoscopy was on par with transthoracic needle biopsy and led to fewer complications, the VERITAS trial showed. Procedural complications ...

Picture this: Your doctor orders an imaging test like a chest X-ray in preparation for an upcoming procedure, and the results show a small white spot in the center of your lungs—a pulmonary or lung ...

A lung biopsy may be used to diagnose lung cancer. There are many kinds of lung biopsies, but common ones include needle, transbronchial, and open. In some cases, prior tests like chest X-rays or CT ...

Lung nodules are small growths in your lungs, less than 30 millimeters in diameter. Many nodules aren’t cancerous, but the risk becomes higher with increased size. A lung nodule is an irregular growth ...

Lung nodules are clusters of cells found during an x-ray or CT scan that appear as more dense or white spots in the lungs. They might surprise you because lung nodules generally do not cause symptoms, ...

Incidental pulmonary nodules are a common finding on chest imaging, but one program is taking an uncommon approach to managing them. Incidental nodules present a growing diagnostic and management ...
