background: linear endoscopic ultrasonography (eus) is a proven modality for the diagnosis and treatment of different gastrointestinal lesions. the aim of this study was to describe the role of eus-fna in the evaluation of pancreatic and submucosal lesions. materials and methods: over a 1-year period, in a prospective descriptive study, patients referred to naft hospital, underwent linear eus. ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The optimal training mode for linear array endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has not been established. Prior radial-scanning EUS training seems to improve subsequent linear array EUS learning. The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate its value in linear array EUS training. METHODS In total, 18 freshman trainees conducted hands-on EUS operations on a liv...

BACKGROUND Radial endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a less invasive imaging modality used to evaluate common bile duct stones (CBDS) and is as accurate as endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP). Patients classified as high risk for suspected CBDS were found to have stones in only two-thirds of cases, and an argument could be made for performing EUS in these high-risk patients. There are very...

Frontline Gastroenterology Published Online First: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/flgastro-2016100759 INTRODUCTION Linear endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has become established as a key diagnostic and therapeutic tool in pancreaticobiliary medicine over the last 20 years. EUS/ EUS-fine needle aspiration (FNA) is used in the diagnosis and staging of pancreatic and bil...

Development and use of linear-array echoendoscope and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) have made endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) more of an interventional procedure than a purely diagnostic procedure. This is a literature review of previously published clinical studies on EUS-guided direct intervention for solid pancreatic tumors, including EUS-guided fine needle inject...

Background. In order to assess the diagnostic accuracy of linear EUS for evaluating clinically suggestive CBD stones in high-risk groups. Methods. 202 patients with clinically suggestive CBD stones in high-risk groups who underwent linear EUS examination between January 2012 and January 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with stone extracti...

Since the development of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), importance in using EUS pancreas and biliary tree has gradually increased. In order to properly observe EUS, it is necessary learn landmark structures at each location, such as stomach duodenum, positional relationship between them normal structures. this article, we will deal with examination method position linear radial reveal image.

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is very useful and frequently employed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes from many endoscopy units. However, hamper to widespread adoption of EUS is the shortage of experienced endosonographers partly due to the lack of opportunities and insufficiency of formal EUS training programs in the countries in Asia-Pacific region including South Korea. EUS is a hi...

16 Practical GastroenteroloGy • may 2012 IntroductIon Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was introduced in 1980, specifically for the purpose of imaging the pancreas.1 The indications for its use have since broadened, and EUS has now become an important tool for not only diagnostic purposes, but also to obtain tissue samples for histologic diagnoses in a variety of gastrointestinal disorders. Indeed, ...
