Bronchoscopy listed under Dr Parthiv Shah in Mumbai

Description

DescriptionFlexible bronchoscopy is a visual exam of the breathing passages of the lungs (called “airways”). It is also called airway endoscopy. This test is done when it is important for your doctor to see inside the airways of your lungs, or to get samples of mucus or tissue from the lungs. A bronchoscopy doctor or a pulmonologist places a thin tube-like instrument called a bronchoscope through the nose or mouth and down into the airways of the lungs. The tube acts as a camera and is able to carry pictures back to a video screen.
