Ion™ Robotic Bronchoscopy
Sub-millimeter navigation and CT-to-body registration for peripheral lung lesions once considered inaccessible.
Clinical Expertise
Precision pulmonology, rooted in the ICU.
Dr. Stephen Milan brings together robotic diagnostics, interventional procedures, and intensive-care experience — one physician across the full continuum of thoracic care.
Core areas of expertise
Interventional Pulmonology
EBUS-TBNA, navigational bronchoscopy, pleural procedures, and airway interventions.
Lung Cancer Diagnosis
Rapid, accurate tissue diagnosis and staging so treatment can begin without delay.
Critical Care Medicine
Board-certified intensivist experience in mechanical ventilation, ARDS, and septic shock.
Complex Airway Disease
Advanced management of severe asthma, COPD exacerbations, and post-intubation airway complications.
Multidisciplinary Coordination
Direct collaboration with thoracic surgery, oncology, and radiology for cohesive care.
The Ion™ Advantage
Reaching the periphery of the lung, safely.
The Ion™ endoluminal system combines an ultra-thin articulating catheter with real-time CT navigation to biopsy nodules as small as a few millimeters — with a stability and reach conventional bronchoscopy cannot match.
- Fully articulating 180° distal tip
- Continuous CT-to-body registration
- Same-day outpatient procedure for most patients
- Lower complication rate versus transthoracic biopsy
