Endosonography-guided cholangiopancreatography [PDF]

open access: possibleGastrointestinal Endoscopy, 1996
Detailed imaging of the common bile duct and main pancreatic duct is possible with endosonography. Utilizing a custom manufactured flexible needle, we have developed a technique of performing endosonography-guided cholangiopancreatography (EGCP).Of 205 patients undergoing ERCP, complete ductography was not possible in 11 patients.

Fundamentals of Endosonography

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 1992
In this article the fundamentals of endosonography are discussed. Because ultrasonography consists of acoustic waves, some basic principles of these mechanical waves and how transducers convert electrical energy to acoustic waves are first considered. The concepts of resolution, penetration, and attenuation are explored. The origin of ultrasound echoes

Principles of endosonography and imaging

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2005
Accurate interpretation of ultrasound images requires knowledge of the principles of ultrasound and how it interacts with tissue. This article outlines the important principles that every endosonographer should know and provides clinical implications to make the material relevant to endosonographers.

Rectal compliance determined by rectal endosonography [PDF]

open access: possibleDiseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1995
The aim of this study was to develop a method for determination of rectal compliance that allows direct measurement of corresponding changes in the rectal cross-sectional area or perimeter and rectal pressure.We developed an anal probe for transrectal endosonography.

Endosonography of the Esophagus

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 1994
Endoscopic ultrasonography has emerged as a new method for obtaining highly detailed images of the esophagus. This novel imaging modality is useful in determining the etiology of submucosal esophageal lesions, has detected anatomic abnormalities in certain motility disorders, and has been used to study patients with portal hypertension.

Endosonography of Groove Pancreatitis

Endoscopy, 1991
Groove pancreatitis is a rare form of chronic pancreatitis. Distinction between pancreatitis and pancreatic carcinoma is often difficult. Two cases of groove pancreatitis diagnosed by endosonography are described. A hypoechoic pattern between the duodenal wall and pancreas was clearly imaged in both patients.

Paediatric anal endosonography

Pediatric Surgery International, 2003
This study was performed to determine the endosonographic features of the anal canal in normal children and to compare these findings with the endosonographic features in children with congenital anorectal malformations.Two groups of children were examined by anal endosonography (AES): group 1 ( n=30) were controls, and group 2 ( n=15) were children ...
