Endosonography is a useful tool for studying the morphology and motor function of the gastrointestinal tract. Intraluminal ultrasonography is the common denomination of ultrasound examinations using intracorporal transducers which are inserted into the GI tract. Thus, the visceral wall and adjacent structures can be imaged in detail. This review describes the usefulness of endosonography in gastroenterology, in particular with respect to studies of the biomechanical and motor function of the gastrointestinal tract. New techniques such as 3-D EUS, elastography and strain rate imaging are discussed.
腔内超声检查是研究胃肠道形态和运动功能的有用工具。腔内超声检查是使用插入胃肠道的体内换能器进行超声检查的统称。因此，可以详细成像内脏壁和相邻结构。本综述描述了腔内超声检查在胃肠病学中的应用，特别是在胃肠道生物力学和运动功能研究方面。文中还讨论了三维内镜超声、弹性成像和应变率成像等新技术。
