Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endoscopic Ultrasound has significantly impacted the diagnosis and treatment of digestive diseases. This technology combines endoscopy and ultrasonography, enabling detailed observation of mucosal surface lesions and the scanning of intra-cavity lesions to assess their depth and relationship with adjacent structures. EUS excels in staging rectal cancer and evaluating subepithelial lesions, providing highly accurate assessments of tumor infiltration. Recent developments include EUS-guided fine needle aspiration and image enhancement techniques, such as contrast agents and elastography, further enhancing its diagnostic capabilities. EUS has become an important diagnostic method for digestive diseases, offering superior resolution and depth penetration.
