Endobronchial optical coherence tomography helps to estimate the cartilage damage of the central airway in TBTB patients

PurposeAt present, there are few examination methods used to evaluate tracheobronchial cartilage damage. In our study, we explored whether endobronchial optical coherence tomography (EB-OCT) can be used to estimate central airway cartilage damage in tracheobronchial tuberculosis (TBTB) patients.Meth...
