Fig. 2From: Endobronchial ultrasound guided Echo Tip Ultra HD 22G needle versus Echo Tip Pro Core HD 22G needle in diagnosis of mediastinal lesionsa CT chest mediastinal window showing enlarged lower paratracheal (4R) lymph node (white arrow). The site of the CP-EBUS bronchoscope and direction of ultrasound view was illustrated. b CT chest showing enlarged subcarinal (L.N 7) lymph node (white arrow). The site of the CP-EBUS bronchoscope and direction of ultrasound view was illustrated. c PET-CT whole body shows enlarged right pretracheal (white arrow) and subcarinal lymph nodes (black arrow). d Ultrasound color Doppler image shows enlarged 4R L.N and the superior vena cava (SVC). e Ultrasound color Doppler image shows enlarged subcarinal lymph node (L.N 7). f Ultrasound color Doppler image shows Echo Tip ProCore HD 22G needle (N) passing through enlarged subcarinal lymph node (LN7). g Ultrasound color Doppler image shows Echo Tip Ultra HD 22G needle (N) passing through enlarged subcarinal lymph node (L.N 7). h Echo Tip ProCore HD 22G EBUS-TBNA needle sample shows malignant squamous cells (black arrow) supporting diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma (H and E × 400). i Echo Tip ProCore HD 22G EBUS-TBNA needle sample shows squamous cell carcinoma with extensive coagulative necrosis (black arrow) (H and E × 200). j Echo Tip Ultra HD 22G EBUS-TBNA needle sample shows necrotic tissue with single malignant squamous cell (black arrow) supporting diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma (PAP stain × 400)Back to article page
