Abstract

The mechanical behaviour of biological material is an important topic in the field of bioengineering because it is linked to various diagnostic tests and diseases. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is used to confirm diagnosis of lung cancer and stage its progression. It relies on insertion of a surgical needle into a lymph node with diagnostic yield (successful sampling of tissue) which is presently highly variable. This study presents experimental tissue measurements relating to EBUS-TBNA and outlines their potential to inform needle design using finite element analysis.
