Semi-quantitative Analysis of EBUS Elastography as a Feasible Approach in Diagnosing Mediastinal and Hilar Lymph Nodes of Lung Cancer Patients

Abstract This study aimed to semi-quantitatively evaluate the elastographic imaging color distribution of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes (LNs), and explored its utility in helping define malignant and benign LNs for lung cancer patients. We prospectively collected patients who underwent preoperat...
