Methods Between January 2016 and December 2016, a total of 221 lymph nodes were
biopsied using the endobronchial ultrasonography-guided transbronchial needle aspiration …

Background/aim: Endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) is a minimally invasive diagnostic
tool in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs) and has sonographic features. We …

Background: Pathophysiological processes, such as malignancy, can lead to the formation
of stiffer tissue in lung cancers. Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) elastography is a novel …

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has been
widely used for diagnosis and mediastinal lymph nodes staging in patients with suspicious …

Background: The aim of this study was to explore elastography features and its ability to
distinguish between benign and malignant lymph nodes by comparing the results with an …

Background: Little data exists regarding the performance of elastography in EBUS-TBNA.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the elastography score proposed and previously …

Objective To compare the diagnostic value of different quantitative methods of
endobronchial ultrasound elastography in benign and malignant mediastinal and hilar …

Background Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) has become a powerful tool for the diagnosis
of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes (LNs). Elastography has been introduced recently to …

Background: Endobronchial ultrasound elastography that provides information on tissue
stiffness may help distinguish malignant from benign mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes …

Background: Ultrasound elastography noninvasively estimates tissue hardness. Studies
have evaluated elastography for differentiating malignant from benign lymph nodes during …
