Endoscopic Sonography of the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract: the Present Position

  • Chapter

  • 30 Accesses

Abstract

The development of morphologically oriented methods has considerably increased our diagnostic capabilities. Sonography plays a leading role in the diagnosis of hepatobiliary, pancreatic and gastrointestinal diseases. It may be used for screening purposes as well as in frequent follow-up investigations. Despite this progress there still remain regions that cannot be accurately depicted even with the most sophisticated imaging modalities presently available. The wall of the gastrointestinal tract and its immediate surroundings may be seen on computed tomographic scanning and with conventional ultrasound, but the systematic and detailed examination of these structures with transcutaneous ultrasonography and computerized tomography (CT) is not possible.
