Roswell Park Adopts New Robotic Bronchoscopy System for More Accurate Biopsies
Roswell Park is utilizing a new tool, the Galaxy robotic bronchoscope system, for more accurate lung nodule imaging and biopsies.
-
1
Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has adopted the Galaxy robotic bronchoscope system for improved lung nodule imaging and biopsies.
-
2
The Galaxy system enhances accuracy by allowing real-time adjustments to bronchoscope positioning, addressing CT to body divergence.
-
3
This new technology is estimated to be three times more accurate than traditional radiology in identifying lung nodules.
-
4
The Galaxy system significantly reduces radiation exposure by approximately 88% for both patients and practitioners.
-
5
Robotic bronchoscopy with the Galaxy system lowers the risk of lung injury, potentially decreasing pneumothoraces and bleeding.
