###EBUS at Geetanjali: A Breakthrough in Diagnosing Complex Lung Diseases

What is EBUS?

Endobronchial Ultrasound Bronchoscopy (EBUS) is an advanced, minimally invasive, and highly precise diagnostic technique. It combines bronchoscopy with real-time ultrasound imaging through a probe attached to the tip of the bronchoscope.

This innovation allows doctors to visualize and sample lymph nodes and lesions outside the airway—areas that conventional bronchoscopy simply cannot reach.

Why is EBUS So Important?

Conventional bronchoscopy only visualizes the inside of the airway

Many serious conditions—such as lung cancer, tuberculosis (TB), and lymph node diseases—often lie outside the airway

These “hidden” lesions remain undetected with routine tests

EBUS uses ultrasound guidance to clearly locate and diagnose such conditions with precision

The result? Accurate diagnosis, correct staging, and timely treatment.

Life-Changing Results with EBUS at Geetanjali

✅ Detecting Lung Cancer When Others Couldn’t

In several patients, routine bronchoscopy failed to detect lung cancer.
With EBUS bronchoscopy:

Cancer was identified at the right stage

Treatment was initiated without delay

Patients are now stable and responding well to therapy

✅ Hidden Tuberculosis Successfully Diagnosed

In two patients:

Standard investigations showed no signs of TB

EBUS revealed tuberculosis hidden within mediastinal lymph nodes

Both patients are now on anti-TB treatment and improving rapidly

Diseases Diagnosed with EBUS

Early-stage lung cancer

Tuberculosis (TB)

Sarcoidosis

Lymphoma

Several other complex lung and respiratory disorders

🔹 Crucial for lung cancer staging, EBUS helps determine how far the disease has spread—guiding the most effective treatment strategy.

A Rare Technology, Now at Geetanjali Medical College & Hospital

EBUS is available at only a limited number of advanced centers in India.
Geetanjali Medical College & Hospital has now successfully introduced and implemented this cutting-edge technology, enabling accurate diagnosis in multiple complex and challenging cases.

EBUS at Geetanjali is not just a diagnostic tool—it’s a decisive step toward precision medicine, early intervention, and better patient outcomes.
