  • Title: Mediastinal and gastric EUS: indications and technique of examination.
    Author: De Luca L, Di Bella S, D'Amore E.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 2007 Aug; 98(4):423-9. PubMed ID: 17921961.
    Abstract:
    Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a minimally invasive technology using a high-frequency ultrasound transducer that is incorporated into the tip of a conventional endoscope. This technique permits the diagnosis and staging of gastrointestinal lesions and mediastinal mass. EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) enables operators to obtain tissue diagnosis of most visualized lesions. This paper reports on the technique of examination and indications for mediastinal and gastric EUS.
