BRONCHIAL BRUSHING IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF PERIPHERAL LUNG LESIONS

A PRELIMINARY REPORT

JOHN J. FENNESSY M.B.1

1 From the Department of Radiology, The University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois

A technique for obtaining material for cytologic and bacteriologic examination from the midzone and periphery of the bronchial tree is described. Essentially this technique consists of selective catheterization of the appropriate segmental bronchus with a radiopaque arterial catheter and then passing small brushes* through the catheter into the region of the lesion. Brushings and washings are obtained for cytologic and bacteriologic examination. The method is simple and in our experience has been entirely free from complications.
