Needle-based Optical Coherence Tomography to Guide Transbronchial Lymph Node Biopsy

Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that OCT provides critical microstructural information that may be useful to guide TBNA lymph node sampling, as a complement to endobronchial ultrasound. In vivo studies are needed to further evaluate the clinical utility of OCT in thoracic lymph node assessment.
