Frederick Health diagnosing lung cancer earlier with robotic biopsy, 3D imaging

Physicians at Frederick Health Hospital are diagnosing lung cancer earlier after the hospital recently implemented 3D technology to support its robotic lung biopsy systems.

By using robotic biopsy systems alongside 3D imaging, the hospital said it is now detecting nearly 40% of lung cancers at Stage 1 — surpassing the national average of about 27%, according to the American Lung Association.
