Brief summary
Exploring the Clinical Application Value of Contrast Enhancement Features in CE-EBUS Images for the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Lesions and Intrapulmonary Lymph Nodes
Interventions
Using CE-EBUS to observe pulmonary lesions and abnormal enlarged intrathoracic lymph nodes, the enhancement characteristics of benign and malignant lesions under CE-EBUS were extracted for both conditions.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Age \>18 years old; * Enlargement of at least one intrathoracic LN (short diameter \> 1 cm) or central parenchymal lung lesions adjacent to the airway detected on chest CT, or increased fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in at least one intrathoracic lymph node on PET / CT (standardized uptake value \> 2.5); * CP-EBUS-TBNA is required to determine the diagnosis or staging, the patient agreed to undergo CE-EBUS, and there were no contraindications to EBUS-TBNA; * Patients who have good compliance and sign informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
* Patients with known hypersensitivity to ultrasound contrast components; * Patients with severe pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary artery pressure \> 90 mmHg); * Patients with angina pectoris, acute coronary syndrome, clinically unstable ischemic heart disease, heart failure, cardiac dysfunction, and cardiac disease with right-to-left shunting; * Patients with uncontrolled essential hypertension and adults with respiratory distress syndrome; * Pregnant or lactating women; * Patients with contraindications to bronchoscopy; * Patients with other conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, make the patient unsuitable for the study.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic accuracy of CE-EBUS in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant intrathoracic lymphadenopathy | 6 month post-procedure | Diagnostic accuracy is defined as the number of lesions correctly identified as malignant or benign divided by the total number of lesions using CE-EBUS interpretation criteria. |
| Diagnostic accuracy of CE-EBUS in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant intrapulmonary lesions | 6 month post-procedure | Diagnostic accuracy was defined as the number of lesions correctly identified as malignant or benign divided by the total number of lesions using the CE-EBUS interpretation criteria. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CE-EBUS in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant intrathoracic lymphadenopathy | 6 months post-procedure | Sensitivity is defined as the number of lesions correctly identified as malignant using the CE-EBUS interpretation criteria divided by the total number of malignant lesions. Specificity is defined as the number of lesions correctly identified as benign using the CE-EBUS interpretation criteria divided by the total number of benign lesions. Positive predictive value is the percentage of truly malignant lesions among all lesions identified as malignant using the CE-EBUS interpretive criteria. Negative predictive value is the percentage of truly benign lesions among all lesions identified as benign using CE-EBUS interpretive criteria. |
