Description
RP-EBUS involves the use of a specialised bronchoscope with a radial ultrasound probe located at the distal end of the bronchoscope. This type of EBUS provides a 360-degree view of the airway walls and surrounding structures, allowing for detailed imaging and evaluation. RP-EBUS is particularly useful for assessing peripheral lung lesions, detecting abnormalities in the bronchial walls, and guiding diagnostic procedures such as biopsy or needle aspiration.
