Scoring model of convex probe endobronchial ultrasound multimodal imaging in differentiating benign and malignant lung lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Convex probe endobronchial ultrasound images can reflect the morphology, blood flow status and stiffness of the lesions. Endobronchial ultrasound multimodal imaging has great value for the diagnosis of intrathoracic lymph nodes. This study aimed to analyze the application of endobronchial ultrasound multimodal imaging on lung lesions.

Methods

Patients undergoing endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in Shanghai Chest Hospital from July 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively enrolled. Nine grayscale features (long and short axes, margin, shape, lobulation sign, echogenicity, necrosis, liquefaction, calcification, and air-bronchogram), blood flow volume and elastography five-score method were analyzed to explore the best diagnostic met
