Pulmonary Medicine
Pulmonary medicine is the practice of treating illness pertaining to the lungs, such as asthma, sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia. These conditions can often lead to difficulty sleeping or decreased quality of sleep.
Our clinic is here to help manage your pulmonary illnesses and, by extension, help improve your sleep so you can be properly rested and thrive at work and better enjoy your daily activities.
If you are seeking pulmonary-medicine-related services, please see your primary care provider for a referral.
Galaxy System
We are the first healthcare system in Wyoming to offer the Galaxy System, a groundbreaking robotic-assisted platform that enhances the early detection of lung cancer.
Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in the United States and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Detecting it early is critical—but doing so can be challenging, as lung nodules are often small and difficult to access for biopsy with traditional tools.
The Galaxy System by Noah Medical is designed to improve accuracy in diagnosing lung cancer. This next-generation technology allows our pulmonologists to navigate to and biopsy lung nodules with greater precision than ever before. It features Tool-in-Lesion (TiLT+) Technology, which offers:
-
100% successful navigation to targeted nodules
-
100% tool-in-lesion accuracy
-
Up to 95% diagnostic yield
In addition to improving diagnostic accuracy, the Galaxy System also enhances patient safety. Its single-use bronchoscope helps reduce the risk of infection associated with reusable scopes. By offering this advanced diagnostic option, our Pulmonary Services team can now detect and treat lung cancer earlier, giving patients faster answers and a better chance at successful outcomes.
