MONARCH® Robotic Bronchoscopy

When a spot on the lung is found (nodules), it is important for you and your doctor to find out what it is. Your doctor will perform a minimally invasive procedure called a robotic bronchoscopy. This will help you and your doctor get the answers needed to make important decisions about your health.

Innovative technology to enable earlier and more accurate diagnosis

Used to view the inside of the lungs and obtain a tissue sample for biopsy, the goal of a MONARCH® robotic bronchoscopy is to enable earlier and more accurate diagnosis of small and hard-to-reach nodules in the periphery of the lung.

The technology integrates the latest advancements in robotics, software, data science, and endoscopy (the use of small cameras and tools to enter the body through its natural openings). Beacon is among the first hospitals in the United States to utilize this platform.
