A test done to determine diseases and other abnormalities of the lungs. The test is performed under general anesthesia, with an instrument (endoscope) that permits visualization of the lungs and surrounding structures. Tissue specimens are obtained and examined after removal.<\/p>\n

\n

An endoscopy of the chest in which the area between the lungs and above the heart is visually examined using a lighted instrument inserted through a small incision. A mediastinoscopy is performed in the hospital under general anesthesia and is used to diagnose diseases such as lung cancer and tuberculosis.<\/p>\n

\n

An investigative technique enabling medical practitioners to visualize the organs residing within the mediastinal cavity through the utilization of a slender, illuminated, and tubular instrument known as a mediastinoscope.<\/p>\n
