Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) is a medical procedure used to diagnose lung cancer, infections, and other diseases affecting the lungs and lymph nodes. It combines two techniques: bronchoscopy and ultrasound.
Bronchoscopy: A bronchoscope is a slender, pliable tubing used in entering through oral cavity or nasal passage into lung’s air passages. Thus, physicians can get to view through lungs and air passages.
Ultrasound: Soundwaves are employed during ultrasound exams at the conclusion of the lungs for purposes of generating pictures that depict tissues surrounding lungs and air passages.
Treatment of EBUS is a valuable tool for diagnosing lung conditions in a safe, accurate, and minimally invasive way.
