Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was developed for the detection of small pancreatic cancer because the complete demonstration of the pancreas by conventional ultrasonography (US) was sometimes prevented by intestinal gas and echoic reduction due to the deeper position of the pancreas head and tail. In this article, the diagnosis, staging, limitations, and hazards of EUS for diagnosing pancreatic cancer are described.
内镜超声（EUS）是为检测小胰腺癌而开发的，因为常规超声检查（US）有时会因肠道气体以及胰头和胰尾位置较深导致回声减弱而无法完整显示胰腺。本文描述了EUS在诊断胰腺癌方面的诊断、分期、局限性及风险。
