Endoluminal sonography is an excellent technique in preoperative staging of rectal carcinoma. This minimally invasive technology makes individual planning of therapy possible and is a very good tool in postoperative follow-up and documentation. In comparison with the techniques of CT and MRI it is less expensive and the mobile unit can easily be moved e.g. into the operating theatre. There are no contraindications for this examination, postoperative tissue scars and metal implants will not disturb the imaging. We think that endoluminal sonography will be able to facilitate individual decision making in the treatment of rectal carcinoma.
腔内超声检查是直肠癌术前分期的一项出色技术。这种微创技术使个体化治疗方案的制定成为可能，并且是术后随访和记录的很好工具。与CT和MRI技术相比，它成本更低，而且移动设备可以轻松移动，例如移至手术室。这项检查没有禁忌证，术后组织瘢痕和金属植入物不会干扰成像。我们认为腔内超声检查将能够促进直肠癌治疗中的个体化决策。
