Endobronchial Ultrasound

Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) is a specialized procedure used in interventional pulmonology to visualize the airways and surrounding structures in the lungs. It involves inserting a thin, flexible tube with an ultrasound device into the bronchial tubes through the mouth or nose. This allows doctors to see and evaluate lymph nodes and other tissues near the lungs, helping to diagnose conditions like lung cancer and infections. EBUS is minimally invasive, often performed with sedation, and provides real-time images, aiding in accurate diagnoses without needing major surgery.
