Endoscopic Ultrasonography is a comprehensive, well illustrated text describing this important new technology for diagnosing GI disease. This timely reference discusses principles, techniques, and equipment in the practical context of assessing and treating digestive disease.
How does EUS work? A traditional fiberoptic endoscope is fitted with a miniature sonographic transducer, allowing penetration that provides extraordinarily precise sonograms, and is now also able to biopsy mass lesions. EUS is particularly effective in screening for gynecologic and gastrointestinal diseases.
EUS is a new technology that is becoming a standard diagnostic tool
All gastroenterologists need to learn the procedures and understand how to interpret results
Organized by organ system/body region
Contains a unique chapter on setting up an EUS suite that will help the physician with selecting equipment and in running a profitable center
Drs Gress and Bhattacharya have worked with leaders in the field who contribute current and practical information about practicing with EUS
Over 200 EUS images explained
