The last American College of Gastroenterology's (ACG) annual meeting was held in Philadelphia on October 5-10, 2018 and showcased a wide variety of the latest and upcoming research within the field of Gastroenterology. This article will present the advancements and research regarding endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) presented at this year's meeting with focus on hepatopancreatobiliary indications. Seventy studies related to EUS were presented; however, case reports and video forum presentations were excluded from this review. Many endosonographers investigated various aspects of EUS such as the tissue acquisition and diagnostic yields of fine-needle biopsies, the application of interventional EUS, and various novel techniques to advance the role of EUS. It would be very difficult to discuss all of the abstracts presented in details; however, we commend and encourage all endosonographers who presented at ACG to continue advancing research and development in EUS.
美国胃肠病学会（ACG）的上一次年会于2018年10月5日至10日在费城举行，展示了胃肠病学领域各种各样的最新及即将开展的研究。本文将介绍在今年会议上展示的关于内镜超声（EUS）的进展和研究，重点关注肝胰胆方面的适应症。会上展示了70项与EUS相关的研究；然而，本综述排除了病例报告和视频论坛展示内容。许多内镜超声检查医师研究了EUS的各个方面，如细针活检的组织获取和诊断率、介入性EUS的应用以及各种推进EUS作用的新技术。详细讨论所有展示的摘要非常困难；然而，我们赞扬并鼓励所有在ACG会议上发言的内镜超声检查医师继续推进EUS的研究与开发。
