Endoscopy, 2000
Endosonography is primarily a diagnostic imaging modality, but new therapeutic applications are being developed. Miniprobe technology (ultrasound catheter probes) has led to new clinical applications. The staging of gastrointestinal cancers remains the major accepted indication for endosonography.

Endoscopic Ultrasonography and Contrast-Enhanced Endoscopic Ultrasonography
Pancreatology, 2011Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is superior to all other imaging modalities in detecting small pancreatic cancers. However, its ability to characterize hypoechoic pancreatic masses is limited: most carcinomas, neuroendocrine tumors, and inflammatory pseudotumors are simply depicted as hypoechoic masses.

EUS has many advantages over x-ray and other endoscopic procedures for the detection of lesions located in the wall of the GI tract. In the oesophagus, invasion of cancer and spread to lymph nodes can be visualized by EUS before surgery. In the stomach, the invasion depth of cancer and the therapeutic effect of laser irradiation to early cancer can be ...

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a versatile tool that can be used to perform a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the upper or lower gastrointestinal tract. The proximity of the echoendoscope to the pancreas, liver, and other thoracic and abdominal organs allows detailed examination or minimally invasive intervention that would not

Progress in Endoscopic Ultrasonography
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2017Therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound is a rapidly expanding field, requiring training beyond the 3-year gastroenterology fellowship and at least an additional year in a structured advanced endoscopy fellowship program with mentorship from an expert at a sufficiently high-volume center.

Interventional Endoscopic Ultrasonography
Current Treatment Options in Gastroenterology, 2014Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is not only a diagnostic tool but also an interventional and therapeutic procedure. Indeed, in addition to tissue acquisition, it can also drain fluid collections adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract, provide access to biliary and pancreatic ducts, biliary, pancreatic, and gallbladder drainage, pancreatic cyst ablation ...

Gastrointestinal endoscopic ultrasonography
Medical Clinics of North America, 2002Although conventional endoscopy provides excellent visualization of gastrointestinal mucosa, it provides little information about intramural or nearby extramural lesions. The imaging of intraabdominal structures by conventional transabdominal ultrasound is degraded by ultrasound energy attenuation with distance.

Interventional endoscopic ultrasonography
Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2009AbstractEndoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is the combination of endoscopy and intraluminal ultrasonography. This allows use of a high frequency transducer, which, due to the short distance to the target lesion, enables ultrasonographic images of high resolution to be obtained.

Endoscopic Ultrasonography of the Esophagus
World Journal of Surgery, 2000AbstractEndoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a generally accepted technique for the preoperative staging of malignant tumors in the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts. In particular, EUS has been considered the method of choice in diagnosing esophageal carcinoma due to the relative ease in performing the examination and the accuracy of staging ...

Endoscopic ultrasonography in achalasia
Gastroenterology, 1989Six patients with known achalasia were examined by endoscopic ultrasonography before dilatation therapy. At the level of the lower esophageal sphincter, a typical enlargement of the echolayer corresponding to the muscularis propria was observed in 5 cases.
