Endoscopic ultrasound has revolutionized the approach to lesions inside and outside the gastrointestinal tract. It has opened the door for gastroenterologists to explore organs outside of the GI lumen, such as the lymph nodes, lung, pancreas, and liver. Endoscopic Ultrasound covers all aspects of endoscopic ultrasound, from the basics to the interventional indications. Richly detailed chapters describe the utility of EUS in different parts of the body and are organized based on body site Pioneers in the field summarize new studies, and thedirection of EUS in practice. Endoscopic Ultrasound provides a ready reference that will help physicians and support staff that are beginning EUS, as well as trained ultrasonographers who wish to arm themselves with a comprehensive reference and explore the future of the field. Thoroughly up to date on new instrumentation and techniques Covers endosurgical applications Organized based on body site which facilitates its use as a reference INDICE: Endosonographic Instrumentation.- Probe Ultrasonograpy.- Radial Endoscopic Ultrasound.- Linear Endoscopic Ultrasound.- The Cytopathology of Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration.- Pitfalls in Endoscopic Ultrasound.- The Role of EUS in Esophageal Cancer.- The Role of EUS in Mediastinal Nodes, Masses, Cysts and Lung Cancer.- The Role of EUS in Gastric Cancer.- TheRole of EUS in Subepithelial lesions.- The Role of EUS in Duodenal/ AmpullaryLesions.- The Role of EUS in Pancreatic Cancer.- The Role of EUS in Cystic Lesions of the Pancreas.- The Role of EUS in the Biliary System.- The Role of EUS in Rectal Cancer and Incontinence.- EAP/EAC.- Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Drainage of Pancreatic Fluid Collections.- Celiac Plexus Block and Neurolysis.-Fine needle Injection Therapy.- Enhanced Contrast Imaging/ Microbubble Imaging.- Endosurgical Applications of EUS.- The Future of EUS.
