Dr. Sunit Patel, Medical Director of Respiratory Therapy at Mercy Medical Center, discusses advances in detecting and diagnosing lung nodules — with a focus on the minimally invasive robotic Ion bronchoscopy. Learn what a lung nodule is, how clinicians evaluate nodules using CT and PET scans and blood tests, and why tissue diagnosis matters. Dr. Patel explains how the robotic Ion system uses shape-sensing technology and precise navigation to reach peripheral nodules safely, reduce risks like pneumothorax and bleeding, and improve diagnostic accuracy. The episode also covers the role of local lung cancer screening programs, how early detection can improve outcomes and reduce treatment costs, and what patients should do if a nodule is found on imaging. Helpful for anyone facing a lung-nodule diagnosis or interested in cutting-edge respiratory care.
