The combination of endobronchial elastography and sonographic findings during endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration for predicting nodal metastasis

Abstract Background During endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA), the sonographic findings of B‐mode imaging, as well as endobronchial elastography, can be obtained noninvasively and used for the prediction of nodal metastasis. Methods Patients with lung cancer...
