Endoscopic ultrasonography is a new and interesting technique. It is the only imaging technique that provides images of the gastrointestinal wall. Because of the high frequency used in EUS, it may provide high resolution images of gastrointestinal organs such as the pancreas. Although the equipment used for EUS is similar to that used for more familiar diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures, there are substantial differences as well. The EUS procedure is more complex and difficult than many standard endoscopic procedures, and it requires close cooperation between the endoscopist, nurse and the patient. Despite the cost and difficulties of establishing this procedure in an endoscopy unit, EUS offers considerable promise as a new method of investigation.
内镜超声检查是一项新颖且有趣的技术。它是唯一能提供胃肠道壁图像的成像技术。由于内镜超声检查使用的频率较高，它可以提供诸如胰腺等胃肠道器官的高分辨率图像。尽管用于内镜超声检查的设备与用于更常见的诊断和治疗性内镜操作的设备相似，但也存在很大差异。内镜超声检查程序比许多标准内镜检查程序更复杂、更困难，并且需要内镜医师、护士和患者之间密切配合。尽管在内镜检查科室开展这项检查存在成本和困难，但内镜超声检查作为一种新的检查方法具有很大的前景。
