Advanced Diagnostic Procedures for Lung and Airway Conditions
Flexible bronchoscopy and Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) are specialised procedures used to investigate abnormalities within the lungs and airways. These minimally invasive techniques allow respiratory specialists to examine the respiratory tract, obtain tissue samples and assess lymph nodes, helping to support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
At Melbourne Respiratory & Sleep Services, bronchoscopy and EBUS procedures are performed by experienced specialists using advanced technology. These investigations play an important role in the assessment of lung nodules, abnormal imaging findings, respiratory infections and suspected lung cancer.
Advanced Airway Assessment
Direct visual examination of the airways helps identify abnormalities, inflammation, infection and other respiratory conditions.
Precise Diagnostic Sampling
Targeted tissue and lymph node sampling assists in obtaining accurate diagnoses while minimising the need for more invasive procedures.
Comprehensive Investigation
Bronchoscopy and EBUS provide valuable diagnostic information to guide treatment decisions and ongoing patient management.
Conditions Commonly Investigated
Flexible bronchoscopy and EBUS are used to investigate a range of respiratory and thoracic conditions.
