- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Endobronchial Ultrasonography (EBUS) and Stereoscopic Bronchoscopy can assess the endobronchial area and peri-bronchial structure revealing abnormal findings in the central airways via brochoscopy. These techniques can be used to assess the diameter and length of the affected airway. We then compared findings of the EBUS images and Stereoscopic Bronchoscopy with MDCT.
