In patients with peripheral lung nodules, what is the additional diagnostic yield of biopsies obtained with flexible cryoprobes compared to standard techniques? For patients with peripheral nodules, we hypothesize use of the cryoprobe will allow larger samples of tissue to be obtained and therefore, will increase the diagnostic yield over conventional techniques
