LAKELAND, Fla.— Lakeland Regional Health is now offering cutting-edge lung care and diagnosis technology with the Intuitive Ion Robotic Navigational Bronchoscopy and the Siemens Cios Spin C-Arm with its 3D Cone Beam Integration Feature.
Lakeland Regional Health implemented the new robotic technology on Friday, February 14. This two pieces of technology work together to allow providers to collect lung tissue samples for biopsy in previously unreachable places, particularly in the lung’s periphery. Providers can now access small lesions in all 18 segments of the lung with even more reach, precision, and stability.
To share this innovative and exciting advancement in care for the community, Lakeland Regional Health hosted Intuitive’s Thoracic Oncology Mobile Experience (TOME) on February 18 for a hands-on demonstration with local Polk County high school students and medical staff until 5 p.m. on their Medical Center campus.
The TOME is a state-of-the-art, interactive mobile educational center featuring the transformative lung care technologies. The truck is a unique, 56-foot-long, 1,000-square-foot curated environment where clinical professionals educate visitors on innovative lung care technology.
