چکیده
Advances in echoendoscopes and their processors have significantly expanded the role of EUS and its clinical applications.The diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of EUS continue to evolve and improve. EUS has made a large impact on patient care but comes with significant startup and maintenance costs. As improved technology continues to enhance image resolution while decreasing the size of EUS processors, use of endosonography will become more widespread. EUS will continue to be a vital part of patient care and complement currently available cross-sectional imaging.

Evaluation of 19-gauge endoscopic ultrasonography aspiration needles using various echoendoscopes
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS 19-gauge (19G) needles are used for EUS-guided tissue acquisition and interventions. The aim of the current study was to compare the functional characteristics of 19G EUS needles by means of using various echoendoscopes in a bench simulator. METHODS The angles achieved for 19G needles (EchoTip: ET-19G, EchoTip Flex: ExF-19G, Expect: Ex-19G, and ProCore: PC-19G) and f...

Technological advances have rapidly expanded the therapeutic potential of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Innovations in stent technology; directed adjunctive therapy for pancreatic tumors, including radiofrequency ablation and fiducial marker placement; advanced imaging modalities, including needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy; and new echoendoscopes, such as the forward-viewing linear ech...
متن کاملTherapeutic endoscopic ultrasound.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a viable and often preferred alternative to interventional and radiologic procedures, and the therapeutic applications of EUS continue to evolve. This evolution was catalyzed by the introduction of linear echoendoscopes that provide continuous imaging and observation of needles and by therapeutic devices that pass through large-caliber working channels. In this pa...
متن کاملHigh-Quality Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Tissue Acquisition
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration is a multistep procedure that involves proper clinical indication, correct selection of needles, adapting evidence-based techniques such as the fanning maneuver and not routinely using suction or the stylet for tissue sampling, and establishing reliable cytopathology support. Integrating cytopathology in the training curriculum and developing ...
متن کاملForward-viewing versus oblique-viewing echoendoscopes in the diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal subepithelial lesions with EUS-guided fine needle aspiration: a prospective, randomized, crossover study
Background: The role of the forward-viewing echoendoscope compared with the oblique-viewing echoendoscope for endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of upper gastrointestinal subepithelial lesions has not been defined. Objective: To compare the diagnostic yield and clinical efficacy of EUS-FNA using the two echoendoscopes in the same upper gastrointestinal subepithelial l...
