Case description

Radial Endosonography EUS. EUS provides high-frequency imaging in the GI tract providing more detailed images of the gut wall and surrounding structures than any other imaging modality. The method has been most useful in evaluating submucosal lesions, staging cancer, and diagnosing pancreatic and biliary diseases. High-frequency EUS produces uniquely clear and detailed images of the wall of the gastrointestinal tract and surrounding organs. No other current imaging method not computed tomography (CT) and not magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can show the gut wall from the esophagus to the rectum, as a series of layers with histologic correlates.
