Bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopy (say "bron-KOSS-koh-pee") is a type of procedure where your doctor uses a thin flexible tube to look at your airways and lungs. This tube is called a bronchoscope. It is inserted through the nose. It lets your doctor see your throat, larynx (voice box), trachea (windpipe), and bronchial tubes.
