Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and evaluate gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, as well as conditions affecting nearby organs such as the pancreas, liver, gallbladder, and lymph nodes. It combines endoscopy and ultrasound imaging to provide detailed, high-resolution images of internal organs and tissues.
Conditions Treated and Diagnosed with EUS:
Pancreatic Disorders
Gastrointestinal Cancers
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is a minimally invasive procedure that combines endoscopy and ultrasound imaging to diagnose and evaluate gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and conditions affecting nearby organs such as the pancreas, liver, bile ducts, and lymph nodes. By inserting a thin, flexible tube equipped with an ultrasound probe into the digestive tract, EUS provides high-resolution, detailed images of internal structures, making it a valuable tool for diagnosing pancreatic cysts, tumors, bile duct stones, and GI cancers. Additionally, it allows for fine needle aspiration (FNA) to collect tissue or fluid samples for biopsy, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
During the procedure:
EUS combines endoscopy and ultrasound to create detailed images of the digestive tract and nearby organs, allowing for diagnosis and treatment of GI disorders.
No. Patients are sedated to ensure they are comfortable throughout the procedure.
Recovery is quick. Most patients can resume normal activities within 24 hours after the procedure.
EUS provides more detailed, high-resolution images and allows for real-time tissue sampling, making it a highly accurate diagnostic tool.
