Endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) is an exciting and still developing diagnostic tool that has added significantly to the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer and other thoracic diseases. Co-authored by one of the technology's pioneers, this book helps the reader to use EBUS to diagnose and stage lung cancer and a variety of different tumours of the chest region.

The second edition of Endobronchial Ultrasonography covers all of the standard techniques and the very latest developments and guidelines involved in EBUS, combining two common procedures, bronchoscopy and real-time
ultrasonography, allowing physicians to obtain precise biopsies of lymph nodes and masses within the chest cavity.

Klappentext

ENDOBRONCHIAL ULTRASONOGRAPHY

Endobronchial Ultrasonography (EBUS) is a minimally invasive yet highly effective procedure that combines bronchoscopy and real-time ultrasonography for obtaining detailed biopsies of lymph nodes and masses within the chest cavity. The second edition of Endobronchial Ultrasonography provides comprehensive coverage of the most recent techniques, guidelines, and developments in using this exciting tool to diagnose lung cancer, infections, and other thoracic diseases.

Co-authored by one of the pioneers of EBUS technology, this thoroughly updated edition features new coverage of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), using EBUS with a guide sheath for peripheral pulmonary lesions, determining the route of the bronchus reaching the peripheral pulmonary lesion, significant advances in EBUS equipment and functions, and more. Providing detailed coverage of all aspects of endobronchial ultrasonography, this authoritative volume:

• Includes practical tips and tricks in each chapter from experienced EBUS practitioners on the procedures they perform
• Includes more than 250 high quality, four-color digital images and numerous real-world case presentations to assist in diagnosis
• Features a companion website containing new video clips
• Evaluates current advances and emerging applications in EBUS technology
• Discusses the advantages of EBUS and how to maximize its benefits

Endobronchial Ultrasonography, Second Edition is an indispensable resource for practitioners using interventional pulmonology to diagnose and assess chest diseases, particularly respiratory physicians, pulmonologists, and bronchoscopists.
