Accurate staging through real time airway and ultrasound imaging
The Olympus Bronchoscope BF-UC180F is an advanced endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscope designed for accurate lung cancer staging and mediastinal evaluation. It combines high quality airway imaging with real time ultrasound guidance for precise biopsy procedures.
The Olympus Bronchoscope BF-UC180F is a flexible ultrasonic bronchoscope developed for detailed examination of the airways and surrounding lymph nodes. It allows doctors to see both inside the bronchial tree and beyond the airway wall using integrated ultrasound technology.
The scope features a convex ultrasound transducer at its tip, providing real time imaging of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes. This supports ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration procedures with improved accuracy and safety.
In addition to ultrasound imaging, the device provides clear endoscopic visualization of airway structures. The flexible insertion tube allows smooth navigation through the bronchial passages. Its working channel accommodates compatible biopsy needles and other instruments required for diagnostic procedures.
The control section is ergonomically designed for precise angulation and stable handling. It is widely used in pulmonology departments and oncology centers for lung cancer staging and other complex respiratory evaluations.
Q.1. What is the BF-UC180F used for
It is used for endobronchial ultrasound procedures and guided lymph node biopsy.
Q.2. What does EBUS mean
EBUS stands for endobronchial ultrasound. It allows imaging beyond the airway wall.
Q.3. Is it mainly used for lung cancer
Yes, it is widely used for lung cancer staging, but it also helps diagnose other lymph node conditions.
Q.4. Is the procedure minimally invasive
Yes, it is performed through the airway without open surgery.
Q.5. Does it provide real time imaging
Yes, it offers real time ultrasound guidance during biopsy.
