Description

Endobronchial Ultrasound offers several benefits as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for evaluating lung and mediastinal conditions. The key benefits of EBUS include:

  • Minimally Invasive: EBUS is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed using a flexible bronchoscope inserted through the mouth or nose, avoiding the need for more invasive surgical procedures.
  • Real-time Imaging: EBUS provides real-time ultrasound imaging of the airways and surrounding structures, allowing healthcare providers to visualise abnormalities, such as tumours, lymph nodes, or lesions, with high resolution and accuracy.
  • Precise Targeting: EBUS enables precise targeting of lesions or lymph nodes within the airways or mediastinum, facilitating accurate diagnosis, staging, and guidance of therapeutic interventions.
