Tests that minimize impact on patients
  • Ultrasound bronchoscopy
  • For the first time in Daegu and Gyeongbuk region, ultrasound bronchoscopy has been introduced and operated at our department. Bronchoscopy enables us to confirm whether there is metastasis of lung cancer to lymph nodes around the bronchial tubes without getting patients general anesthesia. Doppler ultrasonography can distinguish blood vessels and even detects small lymph nodes of about 1cm size. It also can be used to diagnose benign diseases such as sarcoidosis and lymphadenitis in addition to cancer.
