EBUS (Endobronchial Ultrasound)
Real-Time Lung Imaging & Biopsy EBUS combines bronchoscopy with ultrasound to obtain real-time images of lung tissues and lymph nodes.
When is EBUS Used?
- Diagnosing and staging lung cancer
- Evaluating lymph nodes in the chest
- Detecting infections like tuberculosis or sarcoidosis
- Avoiding more invasive procedures (like mediastinoscopy)
Benefits of EBUS:
- High diagnostic yield
- Minimally invasive
- Real-time guided biopsy
- Essential for accurate cancer staging and treatment planning
