Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a highly accurate method for staging gastrointestinal diseases, especially benign and malignant pancreatic lesions. As the probe can be placed so close to the pancreas (in the stomach and duodenum), EUS provides high-resolution images of the pancreas, with precise visualization of the biliary and pancreatic ducts and peripancreatic vessels.
