Diagnostic efficacy and safety of radial probe endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration for adjacent lesions in segmental or subsegmental bronchi: a single-center retrospective study

Table 1 CEBUS-TBNA vs. REBUS-TBNA comparison

	CEBUS-TBNA	REBUS-TBNA
Flexibility of bronchoscope for view	60°	360°
Real time TBNA potential	Yes	No
Doppler mode potential	Yes	No
Ultrasound probe frequency*	5–12 MHz	20 MHz
Tissue Penetration	Low	High

*Higher frequency leads to better resolution and image quality and less penetration; low-frequency leads to better penetration but lower resolution (i.e., lower quality) images
