Endoscopic ultrasonography provides detailed images of gastrointestinal structures by means of high frequency ultrasound transducers placed within the gastrointestinal tract. In this paper, the authors describe various systems and discuss their clinical potential and indications for use. Endoscopic ultrasonography allows imaging of various small pathological lesions in the visceral wall and adjacent structures, such as the mediastinum, pancreas and distal parts of the bile duct. Experience in endoscopy and ultrasonography is necessary for a proper management of the technique.
内镜超声检查通过放置在胃肠道内的高频超声换能器提供胃肠道结构的详细图像。在本文中，作者描述了各种系统并讨论了它们的临床潜力和使用指征。内镜超声检查能够对内脏壁及相邻结构（如纵隔、胰腺和胆管远端）的各种小的病理病变进行成像。正确操作该技术需要有内镜检查和超声检查的经验。
