What is a Lung Biopsy?
A lung biopsy involves taking a small tissue sample from the lungs to diagnose a disease. It is used when imaging reveals abnormalities or when a precise diagnosis is needed for conditions such as infections, tumours, or fibrosis. The sample is examined in a laboratory to guide treatment decisions.

Procedure
A lung biopsy can be performed via bronchoscopy, CT-guided needle biopsy, or surgical thoracoscopy. Dr. Modi carefully collects tissue under imaging guidance to ensure safety and accuracy. The sample is sent for analysis, and patients are monitored post-procedure for any complications.

Why it Happens / How to Manage
Lung biopsies are indicated for unexplained lung nodules, persistent infections, or suspected malignancies. Timely biopsy ensures early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Dr. Modi provides comprehensive care before, during, and after the procedure, ensuring safe recovery and effective management.
