Endosonography is a very important method of investigation in several specialties. It allows the gastroenterologist to reach organs and structures, that may not be seen by percutaneous ultrasound performing a closer imaging of them. Endoscopic ultrasound was initially introduced as a pure diagnostic tool. Nowadays there are many therapeutic interventions that can be done endosonographically. This publication reviews the last development of this method.
内镜超声检查是多个专业领域中非常重要的检查方法。它使胃肠病学家能够触及经皮超声可能无法看到的器官和结构，并对其进行更近距离的成像。内镜超声最初作为一种单纯的诊断工具被引入。如今，有许多治疗干预措施可以通过内镜超声来完成。本出版物回顾了该方法的最新进展。
