Endobronchial Ultrasound Elastography in the Diagnosis of Mediastinal and Hilar Lymph Nodes

Abstract

Endobronchial ultrasound elastography of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes is a noninvasive technique that can be performed reliably and may be helpful in the prediction of nodal metastasis during endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration.
