Oesophageal applications of the convex curvilinear ultrasound bronchoscope; an illustrative case series.

摘要

A series of cases is used to demonstrate use of convex curvilinear ultrasound bronchoscope via the oesophagus in the diagnosis of non-nodal thoracic disease. This scope has a breadth of application that has not to date been fully explored. Criteria for preferential use of the oesophagus are delineated.
