Linear EUS of the Pancreas, Biliary Tract and Liver

  • Chapter
Practical Handbook of Endoscopic Ultrasonography

  • 1681 Accesses

Abstract

EUS offers excellent scanning views of the biliary-pancreatic region. Linear EUS can evaluate the biliary-pancreatic area with similar precision as that by radial EUS and in addition, allows FNA or other interventional procedures to be performed at the same time [1].
