Radial EBUS

Olympus Radial EBUS

For precise, real-time confirmation of lesion location

With CMA's approval of lung cancer screening in 2015, pulmonologists will see an increased number of patients with solitary pulmonary lesions that require follow-up care. Only the Olympus EBUS Solution offers radial EBUS, which is recommended in the 2013 ACCP Lung Cancer Guidelines for peripheral bronchoscopy.

360-degree, Real-time
Visualization

Radial EBUS provides a 360-degree image of the airway wall and surrounding structures external to the airway allowing real-time confirmation of the lesion location.

Proven Technology

Pooled clinical data demonstrates that radial EBUS provides a more accurate alternative to conventional transbronchial bronchoscopy, without the increased risk of clinical complications associated with CT-guided transthoracic needle aspiration (TTNA).

Peripheral Pulmonary Lesion Sampling

The PeriView FLEX TBNA needle brings new capabilities to peripheral bronchoscopy with enhanced flexibility and versatility to improve access. Compatible with the full line of Olympus guide sheaths and bronchoscopes with an instrument channel 2.0 mm and above, the PeriView FLEX offers sampling options never before available in the peripheral airways.

Effective Targeting in
the Periphery

With CMS’s approval of lung cancer screening in 2015, pulmonologists will see a number of patients with solitary pulmonary lesions that require follow-up care. Consequently, there is a clear need for direct and accurate diagnosis of malignancy using safe, minimally invasive methods.

Pooled clinical data demonstrates that radial EBUS provides a more accurate alternative to conventional transbronchial bronchoscopy, without the increased risk of clinical complications associated with CT-guided transthoracic needle aspiration (TTNA).

Pneumothorax rate for guided bronchoscopy is significantly lower (1.5%) compared to TTNA (~25%).1

Case Study

Dr. Alex Chen of Washington University describes diagnosing pulmonary lesions with peripheral bronchoscopy and radial EBUS.
