[Value of endobronchial ultrasound elastography in the diagnosis of mediastinal and hilar lymph node metastasis in lung cancer].
To assess the value of endobronchial ultrasound elastography in the diagnosis of mediastinal and hilar lymph node metastasis in lung cancer. ⋯ The endobronchial ultrasound elastography can effectively distinguish the mediastinal and hilar lymph node metastasis in lung cancer. The diagnosis accuracy of elastography in malignant lymph node is higher than that of standard EBUS criteria. The combination of elastosonography grading score and standard EBUS criteria can improve the diagnostic efficiency.
