Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) bronchoscopy is a procedure used to diagnose different kinds of lung problems, including infections or cancer. A trained lung doctor, called a pulmonologist, performs EBUS bronchoscopy. The tool used is a flexible tube that goes into your mouth, and then into your windpipe and lungs. At the end of the tube is a small a video camera that takes pictures of your lungs and nearby areas. The pictures can help locate and evaluate places on your lung previously seen on X-rays or scans that need a closer look.
