Diagnostic Dilemma of Biliopancreatic Contrast-Enhanced Harmonic Endoscopic Ultrasonography
Background: The utility of contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasonography (CH-EUS) alone in the biliopancreatic region appears to be limited because it is highly dependent on the experience and skill of the endoscopist.
