Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) | American Lung Association
2024年11月20日 · What Is EBUS Bronchoscopy? EBUS (endobronchial ultrasound) bronchoscopy is a procedure used to diagnose different types of lung disorders, including inflammation, infections or cancer. Performed by a pulmonologist, EBUS bronchoscopy uses a flexible tube that goes through your mouth and into your windpipe and lungs.
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) : Purpose, Risks & Results
2023年7月17日 · Healthcare providers use an endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) to look more closely at something inside your lungs. This might be an infection, tumor, nodule or another lung condition. An EBUS uses a lighted tube (bronchoscope) with an attached ultrasound to look at a specific area of your lungs.
Reporting Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) - AAPC
2017年11月28日 · Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) combines a bronchoscope with ultrasound to visualize the bronchi and adjacent structures, and to obtain tissue for biopsy. Sampling by EBUS differs from transbronchial lung biopsy(s) (+31632) or transbronchial needle aspiration biopsy(s) (+31633), neither of which includes an ultrasound component.
Clinical Applications of Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) Scope ...
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) has been widely used to stage lung tumors and to diagnose mediastinal diseases. In the last decade, this procedure has evolved in several technical aspects, with new tools available to optimize tissue sampling and to ...
Endobronchial ultrasound scan and biopsy (EBUS)
An endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) uses soundwaves to get a picture of your lungs and nearby lymph nodes from inside the windpipe. You usually have a biopsy to find out for certain if you have lung cancer. A doctor or nurse takes samples of cells or tissue from the abnormal area.
Acquisition and Handling of Endobronchial Ultrasound ... - CHEST
2024年9月27日 · This report provides an evidence-based approach to handling and processing EBUS-TBNA specimens for bronchoscopists. With CHEST methodologist guidance, we applied a rigorous evidence-based process and explored available literature on topics related to EBUS-TBNA specimen processing.
Processing and Reporting of Cytology Specimens from …
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is presently the preferred modality for sampling mediastinal lymph nodes. There is an unmet need for standardization of processing and reporting of cytology specimens obtained by EBUS-TBNA.
Proposed quality indicators and recommended standard reporting …
Standardized reporting items for both radial and linear EBUS are recommended, with evidence supporting their utility in assessing procedural outcomes presented.
Image-guided EBUS bronchoscopy system for lung-cancer staging
2021年1月1日 · We present a complete image-guided EBUS bronchoscopy system tailored to lymph-node staging. The system accepts a patient’s 3D chest CT scan, an optional PET scan, and the EBUS bronchoscope’s video sources as inputs. System workflow follows two phases: (1) procedure planning and (2) image-guided EBUS bronchoscopy.
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) - Cancer Research UK
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) Endobronchial ultrasound is also called Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). It is a test that can show if: an abnormal looking area is cancer; the size of the cancer; the cancer has spread into other lung areas or outside the lung
