Health
Coeur d’Alene’s Kootenai Health pulmonologist Dr. Todd Hoopman helped answer a key question about safely checking lung nodules by co-leading the VERITAS trial, a national study that compared CT-guided needle biopsy with navigational bronchoscopy.
The study found that navigational bronchoscopy works as well as CT-guided biopsy with fewer complications—only 3% of patients experienced complications compared to nearly 30% with CT-guided methods.
