ENB stands for which technique?

• A. Electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy
• B. Endobronchial ultrasound
• C. Electromagnetic bronchoscopic navigation
• D. Endobronchial navigation biopsy

Answer: (A)

ENB stands for Electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy, a technique that uses an electromagnetic tracking system to guide a bronchoscope to a lung lesion by following a CT-based 3D airway map. This real-time navigation lets you reach peripheral nodules for diagnostic biopsy or localization without open surgery, often combining with additional confirmation methods like radial ultrasound. The other terms describe different approaches: endobronchial ultrasound is a separate imaging modality using ultrasound from within the airways, and the remaining phrasings aren’t the standard name for this navigation technique.
