Along with endosonographic fine needle aspiration, transoesophageal ultrasonography is now well established for staging gastrointestinal tumors. It is especially well suited to assessing mediastinal structures due to its transoesophageal approach and its high local definition. The mediastinum can be viewed all the way from the tracheal bifurcation to the diaphragm. This technique is already in regular use for pulmonary problems and especially for staging pulmonary carcinomas.
除了内镜超声引导下细针穿刺活检外,经食管超声检查目前在胃肠道肿瘤分期方面已得到广泛应用。由于其经食管的检查途径和高局部分辨率,它特别适合评估纵隔结构。从气管隆突到膈肌的整个纵隔都可以观察到。这项技术已经常规用于肺部疾病,尤其是肺癌的分期。
