Brief Summary: Obtaining a tissue sample to diagnose parenchymal lung lesions PPL suspected of cancerous origin is of utmost importance Due to its markedly favourable safety profile a bronchoscopic biopsy method called Radial EBUS is becoming increasingly popular However a meta-analysis reports the success rate of Radial EBUS in diagnosis is 73 which in comparison to CT guided biopsy which is the gold standard in diagnosing PPL 90 success rate is sub-optimal

There are 2 types of USS probes used in the R-EBUS procedure Whilst the thicker USS probe 17mm is capable of accommodating larger biopsy instruments the thinner USS probe could be advanced more peripherally to obtain a biopsy

Therefore identifying what type of USS probe is better for a given PPL will aid in improving the diagnostic yield

In this study investigators compare these two types of probes in the ability to diagnose a PPL

The biopsy instruments used for both arms are forceps and cytology brush For the thick USS arm in addition an aspiration needle will also be used The thin USS guide sheath is too small to accommodate an aspiration needle
