Bronchoscopy and Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL)
Bronchoscopy and Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) are diagnostic procedures for examining lung airways. Bronchoscopy involves using a flexible tube to visualise airways, while BAL collects a sample of fluid from the lungs for testing. Bronchoscopy and Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) can diagnose infections, cancer, and other lung conditions.
