Ultrasound Guided Biopsy (EBUS)
Biopsy for lung cancer, sarcoidosis, interstitial lung disease and infection
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) is a specialized bronchoscopic technique that combines ultrasound imaging with bronchoscopy to examine the structures adjacent to the airway walls. This minimally invasive procedure is commonly used for diagnosing and staging lung cancer. It can also help with diagnosis of certain lung infections and interstitial lung disease. The ultrasound component enhances accuracy, facilitating the sampling of lymph nodes and lesions within the chest, providing valuable information for treatment planning.
