First Evaluation of the New Thin Convex Probe Endobronchial Ultrasound Scope: A Human Ex Vivo Lung Study

Thin convex probe EBUS has greater accessibility to peripheral airways in human lungs and is capable of sampling segmental lymph nodes using the aspiration needle. That will allow for more precise assessment of N1 nodes and, possibly, intrapulmonary lesions normally inaccessible to the conventional convex probe EBUS.
