42 Evaluation of a novel simulator for linear and radial EBUS at University College London: The Lung Phantom

Linear endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) has transformed the standard of care for lung cancer diagnosis and is a common procedure in the United Kingdom. The demand for targeted sampling of lung nodules using radial EBUS is anticipated to increase with the implementation of screening. Despite both procedures having a long and complex learning curve, there is currently no standardised teaching or assessment approach. While simulation is a widely accepted method of procedural training, available simulators are expensive and lack anatomical detail.
