Endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration biopsy: a large single centre experience.
David Williams,Anand V. Sahai,Lars Aabakken,Ian D. Penman,A. van Velse,J Webb,M Wilson,Brenda J. Hoffman,Robert H. Hawes +8 more
TL;DR: EUS-FNA is safe and can readily obtain tissue specimens adequate for cytopathological diagnoses, and is a superior modality for the detection of nodal metastases in the evaluation of lymph nodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-time endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration for sampling mediastinal lymph nodes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used real-time endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guidance to increase the ability to sample mediastinal lymph nodes and hence to determine a diagnosis.

Basic principles of ROC analysis
TL;DR: ROC analysis is shown to be related in a direct and natural way to cost/benefit analysis of diagnostic decision making and the concepts of "average diagnostic cost" and "average net benefit" are developed and used to identify the optimal compromise among various kinds of diagnostic error.
