Abstract
The history of intraluminal echography dates back to the very beginning of diagnostic ultrasound. Over the years many fascinating ideas and applications of catheter tip or gastroscopic tube tip-mounted transducers have been described. In the early period of diagnostic ultrasound, one of the compelling reasons for the intraluminal approach was the low sensitivity of the existing echo transducers and, therefore, the need to closely approach the organs to be studied. Image quality was poor and the techniques were considered too invasive to stimulate large-scale applications. However, with the introduction of interventional and minimally invasive surgical techniques in the last decade, a new and enthusiastic interest for endo- and intraluminal echography has arisen because of the need for better patient selection and management of the interventional procedure. For this reason cross-sectional information is essential.
