Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial biopsy for ground-glass opacity-predominant nodules in the lung periphery

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial biopsy for ground-glass opacity-predominant nodules in the lung periphery

Objectives: Peripheral lung nodules containing ground-glass opacity (GGO), which include both pure GGN (nodules that contain only GGO) and part-solid GGN (nodules that contain both GGO and consolidation), are difficult to diagnose by conventional transbronchial biopsy (TBB) because they are not visi...
