If you or your loved one is experiencing long-term cough, swollen lymph nodes in the chest, or doctors suspect something abnormal in the lungs, an EBUS test might be recommended. At her Pune clinics, Dr. Sneha Tirpude, a senior pulmonologist, offers this advanced, safe, and minimally invasive test for a clear and accurate diagnosis.

What is an EBUS Test?

EBUS stands for Endobronchial Ultrasound. It is an advanced test that allows the doctor to look inside your chest, especially the area around your windpipe and lungs, without surgery.

Using a thin tube (like in a bronchoscopy) with a small ultrasound device and camera at the tip, the doctor can see lymph nodes, tumors, or abnormal areas inside the chest and take small samples (called biopsy) for testing.

Why is an EBUS Test Done?

Doctors use EBUS to:

• Check for lung cancer or infections

• Diagnose causes of swollen glands in the chest

• Detect tuberculosis or sarcoidosis

• Avoid more painful or surgical procedures

• Get samples from deep areas in the chest without cutting open the body

Is EBUS Safe?

Yes, EBUS is safe and low-risk. It is far less invasive than surgery and is a preferred method worldwide to check for lung diseases and chest problems.
