Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) can be used as an alternative to fluoroscopy to visualize a peripheral pulmonary lesion (PPL) and to provide an image guidance for transbronchial biopsy (TBB). The aim of this study was to verify the accuracy of EBUS-guided TBB in the diagnosis of PPLs.

Abstract
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) can be used as an alternative to fluoroscopy to visualize a peripheral pulmonary lesion (PPL) and to provide an image guidance for transbronchial biopsy (TBB). The aim of this study was to verify the accuracy of EBUS-guided TBB in the diagnosis of PPLs.
