The purpose of this study is to find out whether a biopsy technique called transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) is a safe alternative to the standard biopsy procedure (transbronchial forceps biopsy; TBFB). The study researchers think that TBCB may provide better biopsy samples to help diagnose lung disease.
