MOBILE, Ala — Mobile Infirmary recently announced the acquisition of the Ion endoluminal system, a minimally invasive robotic-assisted bronchoscopy procedure. This advanced technology enables physicians to reach nodules far into the lung, providing them stability and precision needed for more accurate lung biopsies. The Ion system addresses a challenging aspect of lung biopsy by enabling physicians to obtain tissue samples deep within the lung. Compared to older manual techniques, the Ion system allows doctors to navigate far into the lung and biopsy much smaller nodules than previously capable.
