Zusammenfassung

Neue endoluminale, bildgebende Techniken nehmen einen zunehmenden klinischen Stellenwert in der Diagnostik und Therapie verschiedenster gastrointestinaler Erkrankungen ein. Die klassische Endosonographie (EUS) erweitert ihre klinischen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten durch den Einsatz von Kontrastmitteln oder der Elastographie. Diese Übersichtsarbeit zeigt aktuelle Standards auf, diskutiert ausgewählte endoluminal geführte Therapieoptionen und stellt neue Techniken der Bildgebung vor.

Abstract

The clinical value of endosonography (EUS) in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is currently increasing and supported by new imaging techniques. Conventional EUS combined with contrast application or elastography might further refine the diagnostic yield for GI cancers. The present review discusses current standards of EUS and endosonographically guided therapy and discusses newly available imaging modalities.
