I had a bronchoscopy with biopsy.
If that couldnt be done they had a ct on stand by

Why do you ask, is there a significant difference with outcomes

Brief Answer:
CT guided lung biopsy is more complicated.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I am asking because CT guided lung biopsy is more invasive an can cause complications like pneumothorax.
This is the only reason for my asking.
And no difference in the outcome of result. If it is cancerous in biopsy it is cancerous, no matter how biopsy is taken.
Do you have bronchoscopic images?
