Das Verfahren wird immer weiterentwickelt und hat die Diagnose und das Staging von Lungenkrebs und anderen Thoraxerkrankungen erheblich vereinfacht. Einer der Pioniere der Methode ist Mitautor dieses Fachbuchs, das das notwendige Wissen vermittelt, um endobronchiale Ultraschalluntersuchungen zur Diagnose und zum Staging von Lungenkrebs und anderer Tumoren in der Brusthöhle durchzufÃ1/4hren. <p/> Die 2. Auflage von Endobronchial Ultrasonography behandelt alle Standardverfahren sowie die neuesten Entwicklungen und Richtlinien in dem Fachgebiet. Dabei werden zwei gängige Verfahren, Bronchoskopie und Echtzeit-Sonografie, kombiniert. So erhalten Mediziner präzise Biopsien der Lymphknoten und der Organe in der Brusthöhle.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><b>ENDOBRONCHIAL ULTRASONOGRAPHY</b> <p>Endobronchial Ultrasonography (EBUS) is a minimally invasive yet highly effective procedure that combines bronchoscopy and real-time ultrasonography for obtaining detailed biopsies of lymph nodes and masses within the chest cavity. The second edition of <i>Endobronchial Ultrasonography</i> provides comprehensive coverage of the most recent techniques, guidelines, and developments in using this exciting tool to diagnose lung cancer, infections, and other thoracic diseases. <p>Co-authored by one of the pioneers of EBUS technology, this thoroughly updated edition features new coverage of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), using EBUS with a guide sheath for peripheral pulmonary lesions, determining the route of the bronchus reaching the peripheral pulmonary lesion, significant advances in EBUS equipment and functions, and more. Providing detailed coverage of all aspects of endobronchial ultrasonography, this authoritative volume: <ul> <li>Includes practical tips and tricks in each chapter from experienced EBUS practitioners on the procedures they perform</li> <li>Includes more than 250 high quality, four-color digital images and numerous real-world case presentations to assist in diagnosis</li> <li>Features a companion website containing new video clips</li> <li>Evaluates current advances and emerging applications in EBUS technology</li> <li>Discusses the advantages of EBUS and how to maximize its benefits</li> </ul> <p><i>Endobronchial Ultrasonography, Second Edition</i> is an indispensable resource for practitioners using interventional pulmonology to diagnose and assess chest diseases, particularly respiratory physicians, pulmonologists, and bronchoscopists.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>NORIAKI KURIMOTO, MD, PHD, </b> Clinical Professor, Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Medical Oncology and Respiratory Medicine, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Izumo, Japan <p><b>DAVID I.K.
