Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate EBUS elastography strain ratio in assessment of mediastinal lymph nodes in patients with suspicion for lung cancer for the first time. Strain ratios of mediastinal lymph nodes will be compared with EBUS B-mode features and with tissue diagnosis as a gold standard.
