Robotic bronchoscopy is an accurate, safe, and e cient method of obtaining cells for biopsies of potentially cancerous lung nodules. Compared to traditional bronchoscopy, the robotic platform and our dedicated, state-ofthe-art procedural rooms, allow for simultaneous cone-beam CT scanning and endobronchial ultrasound to reach previously inaccessible parts of the lung, for even greater precision in the diagnosis and staging of potential lung cancer. The new technology allows our experts to achieve greater reach and dexterity during the procedure.

Robotic Bronchoscopy is a joint program between Yale Interventional Pulmonology, a program of Yale’s Section of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, and Yale Thoracic Surgery, which is a part of the Center for Thoracic Cancers at Smilow Cancer Hospital.
