Abstract:
Linear endoscopic ultrasound is useful in the diagnosis and staging of non-small cell lung cancer. Endoscopic ultrasound has been proposed as the first test to be used, before bronchoscopy, for staging of lung cancer. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer has redefined the anatomic borders of lymph node stations. We describe the techniques of linear endoscopic ultrasound for mapping of the lymph nodes as defined by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer classification.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
