TLDR
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) has gained importance for mediastinal lymph node staging and Contrast-enhanced EBUS is so far not a discussed technique including contrast-enhancing high mechanical index (MI)-EBUS and potentially contrast -enhanced low MI-EBUS.Abstract:
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) has gained importance for mediastinal lymph node staging. Contrast-enhanced EBUS is so far not a discussed technique including contrast-enhanced high mechanical index (MI)-EBUS and potentially contrast-enhanced low MI-EBUS. Possible use could include characterization of mediastinal lymph nodes for better selection of biopsies, differential diagnosis of the primary tumor, and evaluation of thrombosis or tumor in vein infiltration.read more

Discriminating chronic pancreatitis from pancreatic cancer: Contrast-enhanced EUS and multidetector computed tomography in direct comparison.
TL;DR: Comparisons show contrast-enhanced EUS is a reliable tool in discriminating PDAC from CP and each modality had shown lower numbers for specificity than shown in the overall group analysis because of high drop-out rate.
