bronchoscopy
Lung viewing procedure
Bronchoscopy is a medical procedure in which a thin, flexible tube with a camera is inserted through the nose or mouth into the airways to examine the bronchi and lungs.
Doctors use it to diagnose conditions, collect tissue samples, or remove obstructions: The bronchoscopy revealed a tumor in the left bronchus.
