Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive diagnostic test with a high diagnostic yield. Optimal specimen acquisition is of a key importance; however, rapid on-site cytology examination (ROSE) during EBUS-TBNA has limited access. In an attempt to provide immediate feedback to the operator, the intervention pulmonology team started to classi...... hiện toàn bộ
