What is EBUS?

EBUS typically refers to Endobronchial Ultrasound. It is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose lung diseases, including lung cancer, infections, and inflammatory conditions such as sarcoidosis. A bronchoscope with an ultrasound probe is inserted into the airways to visualize and sample lymph nodes and masses in the chest. This allows for real-time imaging and targeted biopsies, improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing the need for more invasive surgical procedures.
