This is an extremely specialized procedure, and will be carried out only by a very well qualified and experienced medical doctor, who will either be a Radiologist (a specialist in the various ways of imaging and scanning the body, such as X-rays, ultrasound and magnetic resonance scanning etc.) or Physician with specialized knowledge of the respiratory system (lungs and related organs).

There are several types of biopsy tests for lung diseases, including bronchoscopy-guided biopsy, needle biopsy, thoracoscopic biopsy, and open lung biopsy. The specific type of biopsy recommended depends on the location and nature of the lung abnormality being evaluated.
its depend upon the procedure for doing lung biopsy(open lung biospy,needle biopsy,bronchoscopic biopsy,video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and mediastinoscopy) the risk of death from needle biopsy is rare. The risk of death from open biopsy is one in 3,000 cases. In mediastinoscopy, death occurs in fewer than one in 3,000 cases.
