"Elastography" and "Tissue Harmonic Imaging" for Characterisation of Hilar and Mediastinal Lymph Nodes

NCT02948907 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Summary

Several benign and malignant diseases are associated with hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Endobronchial elastography that is an imaging procedure used for the visualization of tissue elasticity and "Tissue Harmonic Imaging (THI)" might be useful for the differentiation of benign and malignant lymph nodes.

Conditions

  • Lymphadenopathy

Interventions

OTHER

Procedure/Bronchoscopy

Patients with enlarged hilar and/or mediastinal lymph nodes and indication for EBUS-TBNA undergo diagnostic bronchoscopy. For characterisation of the enlarged lymph nodes endobronchial ultrasound with elastography and "Tissue Harmonic Imaging (THI)" are used. Afterwards, EBUS-TBNA is performed. The results of elastography and THI are correlated with the cytological result obtained by EBUS-TBNA.
