At present, the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) guidelines on endoscopic ultrasound-guided sampling are almost complete and express state of the art developments. However, future developments are anticipated. This editorial focuses on a few recently published papers with some additional information and on two important additional techniques, elastography and contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), which are mentioned, but not explained in detail in the current ESGE guidelines. Elastography and CEUS might be of importance in the near future to improve the biopsy techniques.
目前,欧洲胃肠道内镜学会(ESGE)关于内镜超声引导下取样的指南已基本完成,体现了该领域的最新发展。然而,预计未来还会有更多发展。本社论重点介绍了最近发表的几篇论文,并提供了一些额外信息,还介绍了两种重要的额外技术,即弹性成像和超声造影(CEUS),这些技术在当前的 ESGE 指南中有所提及,但没有详细解释。在不久的将来,弹性成像和超声造影可能对改进活检技术很重要。
