Ultrasonography of the Stomach

چکیده
Ultrasound is a versatile imaging modality with the potential to provide much quantitative and qualitative information in both clinical and research settings. Ultrasound has the capacity to provide both anatomical and physiological information in real-time, and also offers images with high temporal and spatial resolution. Furthermore, ultrasound is relatively non-invasive and is not associated with a radiation burden to the patient. These advantages, as well as the capacity to provide this information in a simple, fast and pain free examination has meant that there has been a huge increase in the number of applications of ultrasound since its introduction in the early 1960s. It was not until the 1980s that ultrasonographic assessment of the stomach and its contents were explored, and, since that time, a number of new techniques have been developed which can provide more comprehensive information in a single ultrasonographic exam.

Background: Hydatid cyst is an endemic disease in Iran and many middle eastern countries. The clinical presentation of Echinococcus granulosus infection depends upon the site of the cysts and their size. Small and/or calcified cysts may remain asymptomatic indefinitely. However, symptoms due to mass effect within organs, obstruction of blood or lymphatic flow, or complications such as rupture o...

Submucosal tunneling bloc biopsy for submucosal tumors growing inside the gastric wall is a safe and reliable method. However, it is difficult for an endoscopist to perform submucosal tunneling bloc biopsy and detect the demarcation line between the proper muscular layer and the capsule layer of submucosal tumors growing outside the gastric wall. A submucosal tumor in the lesser curvature of th...
