Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)

Definition

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure that utilizes a bronchoscope equipped with an ultrasound device to visualize the airways, surrounding lymph nodes, and other structures within the chest. It allows for real-time imaging and sampling of tissues, aiding in the diagnosis of lung cancer, infections, and other lung diseases.
