EBUS is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and stage lung cancer, infections, and other diseases affecting the chest. It involves using a bronchoscope equipped with an ultrasound device to obtain real-time images of the airways and surrounding structures.
Linear EBUS involves inserting a bronchoscope with a linear ultrasound probe attached, allowing visualization of structures adjacent to the airways. Radial EBUS uses a radial ultrasound probe that emits ultrasound waves perpendicular to the bronchoscope, providing a 360-degree view of the airway walls.
Medical thoracoscopy, also known as pleuroscopy, is a procedure used to examine the pleural cavity (space between the lungs and chest wall) using a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached. It allows for visualization and biopsy of the pleura, aiding in the diagnosis of pleural diseases such as pleural effusions and mesothelioma.
Chronic cough evaluation typically involves a comprehensive medical history review, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as chest X-rays, pulmonary function tests, bronchoscopy, and imaging studies (CT scans) to identify underlying causes such as asthma, GERD, or lung cancer.
