Ultrathin Bronchoscopy-Guided Small Airway Biopsy for Diagnosing Sarcoidosis: A Prospective Study
PulmonologyNew ultrathin bronchoscopes (UTBs) enable the inspection and biopsy of small airways, potentially offering diagnostic advantages in sarcoidosis. In this prospective study, patients with suspected sarcoidosis underwent airway inspection with a UTB ...

Yield of Navigational Ultrathin Bronchoscopy with Fluoroscopy in Diagnosis of Pulmonary Nodules [PDF]
Al-Azhar International Medical JournalBackground: Although many of the tiny lesions found on simple chest radiography are benign, CT finds more PPLs than radiography. Thus, it is essential to be able to differentiate benign lesions from lung cancer using a safer and more reliable technique ...
