Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The diagnostic yield based on histological or cytological findings via transbronchial biopsy or fine needle aspiration
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1. The improvement rate of Radial EBUS images<br>We classify the positional relation of the R-EBUS probe with the lesion into three groups as follows: a) within, when the probe is located inside the lesion; b) adjacent to, when the probe is located at the periphery of the lesion; c) outside, when the probe is located outside the lesion.<br><br>We set the improvement of the EBUS images as follows: when the EBUS image of 'adjacent to' changed to 'within' or the image of 'invisible' changed to 'adjacent to' or 'within', the EBUS imaging is considered to have improved.<br><br>2. The examination time
