Standard imaging of pancreas is generally obtained by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. However endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has become an indispensable tool for the diagnosis of various pancreatic diseases. Because of the close proximity of the EUS probe to the pancreas, EUS provides excellent images of the pancreas. In this review, we discuss the role of EUS in the clinical management of patients with benign pancreatic diseases, i.e., various forms of pancreatitis.
胰腺的标准影像学检查通常通过计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像获得。然而,内镜超声(EUS)已成为诊断各种胰腺疾病不可或缺的工具。由于 EUS 探头与胰腺非常接近,因此 EUS 可提供胰腺的极佳图像。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了 EUS 在患有良性胰腺疾病(即各种形式的胰腺炎)的患者的临床管理中的作用。
