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 for lung biopsy might be recommended. In Pune, Dr. Sneha Tirpude, a senior pulmonologist, offers this advanced, safe, and minimally invasive test for a clear and accurate lung diagnosis.

What is an EBUS Test?

EBUS stands for Endobronchial Ultrasound. It is an advanced lung 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?

Pulmonologist 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 Test 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.
