SAN ANTONIO – North Central Baptist Hospital is now offering comprehensive new technology, "Veran SPiN Thoracic Navigation System," developed to improve early detection of lung cancer.
Dr. Aldo Ambrosio Parodi, a pulmonary disease specialist at NCBH, performed the first procedure last month and is excited about the positive impact this new procedure will have on patients.
"This is a fantastic and very helpful technology that works like a GPS system," said Dr. Parodi.
Benefits of the new procedure:
- Minimally invasive approach to navigate to lesions deep in the lungs
- Requires no incision and avoids the need for higher-risk procedures to remove lung lesions
- Allows less radiation exposure for patients, physicians and staff members
