The study is aimed to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy rate of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) image features in diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs).
The study is designed as a single center prospective trial. The participating center is Department of Ultrasound, Shanghai chest Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China. The study is expected to enroll 200 patients. The investigator evaluates the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy rate of EBUS image features in diagnosing PPLs. EBUS is performed using an endoscope ultrasound system, which is equipped with a 20-MHz mechanical radial-type probe (UM-S20-17S;Olympus) with an external diameter of 1.4 mm.
