Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) or echo-endoscopy is a medical procedure in which endoscopy (insertion of a probe into a hollow organ) is combined with ultrasound to obtain images of the internal organs in the chest, abdomen and colon. It can be used to visualize the walls of these organs, or to look at adjacent structures.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is an endoscopic technique where a miniaturized ultrasound probe is passed through the mouth into the upper gastrointestinal tract to investigate organs and structures close to the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum, such as the lung.
Confocal endoscopy, or confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE), is a modern imaging technique that allows the examination of real-time microscopic and histological features inside the body. In the word "endomicroscopy", endo- means "within" and -skopein means "to view or observe".
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is a minimally invasive procedure for acquiring biopsies in gastric regions that are hard to reach otherwise (e.g. the pancreas). Endoscopic ultrasound EUS-FNA of cystic lesions, followed by liquid cell analysis, has been used as a diagnostic tool for differentiating benign ...
An endoscopy is a procedure used in medicine to look inside the body. [1] The endoscopy procedure uses an endoscope to examine the interior of a hollow organ or cavity of the body. Unlike many other medical imaging techniques, endoscopes are inserted directly into the organ.
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of cystic lesions, followed by liquid cell analysis, has been used as a diagnostic tool for differentiating benign, potentially malignant, and malignant pancreatic cysts.

The diagnosis of pancreatic MCN is typically achieved with imaging. If the results of imaging (CT/MRI) are unclear, then endoscopic ultrasound with fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of the cyst may be necessary. [1] Cyst fluid analysis may help distinguish potentially premalignant mucinous cysts (MCNs and IPMNs), from benign non-mucinous cysts. [1]
