Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of "Recent Advances of Endoscopic Ultrasound in Diagnostics" focuses on the remarkable progress made in the utilization of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for diagnostic applications. This edition highlights the innovative techniques and advancements in EUS imaging that have significantly improved the detection, characterization, and staging of various gastrointestinal and pancreaticobiliary diseases. Key advancements include the development of high-resolution probes, enhanced imaging modalities such as elastography and contrast-enhanced EUS, and the integration of EUS with other diagnostic modalities like confocal laser endomicroscopy. These advancements have enabled more precise diagnosis of malignancies, inflammatory processes, and other pathological conditions. This Special Issue also explores the challenges and limitations in EUS diagnostics, as well as future directions for continued improvement in this evolving field.
