The endoscopic ultrasound is a minimally invasive procedure, wherein a long flexible tube (endoscope) is inserted into the mouth or rectum. The lighted endoscope is attached to a tiny camera that gives the doctor a close-up view of the digestive tract. The endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy, meanwhile, is a procedure used to diagnose different types of lung disorders, including inflammation, infections or cancer.
