      • CEUS Technique

        TERMINOLOGY

        • Definitions

          • Endoscopic US (EUS), a.k.a. endosonography, is minimally invasive procedure combining endoscopy of digestive tract with high-frequency US of gastrointestinal (GI) wall and surrounding organs and tissues
          • Sometimes, term EUS is also used to include endobronchial US (EBUS) and intracavitary (vaginal, anorectal) US using rigid transducers (linear and radial)
          • For contrast-enhanced EUS techniques using low MI, terms contrast-enhanced low mechanical index (MI) EUS (CELMI-EUS), contrast-enhanced harmonic EUS (CEH-EUS), and contrast harmonic EUS (CH-EUS) are in use

        CEUS TECHNIQUE

        • Echoendoscopes and US Platforms

          • Application, Set-Up of US Systems and Dosing of US Contrast Agents

            • Limitations

              IMAGING

              • General Discussion

                • Solid Pancreatic Lesions

                  • Cystic Pancreatic Lesions

                    • Gastrointestinal Tumors

                      • Lymph Nodes

                        • Gallbladder
