Meanings of endoscopic ultrasound in English

Alternatively, further assessment by MRI or flexible endoscopic ultrasound may be considered.

Preoperative findings of endoscopic ultrasound were classified according to TNM staging.

Staging consisted in colonoscopy, thoracic and abdominal CT, pelvic MRI and endoscopic ultrasound.

Moreover, elongated echogenic material with a central hypoechogenic area was seen on endoscopic ultrasound.

The accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound to predict response was determined.

With advancement in endoscopic ultrasound with fine needle aspiration, it has become easier to make correct diagnosis.

Screening and surveillance for pancreatic cancer and its precursors is a relatively new indication for endoscopic ultrasound.

Gastric cancer is diagnosed histologically after endoscopic biopsy and staged using CT, endoscopic ultrasound, PET, and laparoscopy.

The endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration produced cytospins were moderately cellular with a few fragments of markedly atypical epithelium.

Prospective controlled data of lymph node evaluation by endoscopic ultrasound in esophageal, gastric and pancreatic cancer is presented.

Methods: We enrolled all patients ≥50 years with chronic upper abdominal pain and vascular risk referred for endoscopic ultrasound.

Furthermore, clinical staging methods such as endoscopic ultrasound are assessed which may allow pre-operative determination of tumor and lymph-node stage.

Few studies have evaluated the role of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in diagnosing clinically suspected cholangiocarcinoma.

Methods: Abdominal imaging including CT scan or endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration tissue sampling is essential for the initial diagnostic procedure.

Conclusions: These results support the role of Doppler endoscopic ultrasound to exclude chronic mesenteric ischaemia as cause of chronic abdominal pain.

Methods: We performed retrospective analyses of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and pathology databases identifying pancreatic cysts with available final pathological diagnoses.
