Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) is a minimally invasive procedure that combines bronchoscopy and ultrasound technology to visualize structures within and around the bronchial tree. It is particularly useful for diagnosing and staging lung cancer, assessing mediastinal lymph nodes, and evaluating other thoracic conditions. By providing real-time imaging, EBUS allows for precise sampling of tissues through fine-needle aspiration (FNA).
