Endoscopic Ultrasound

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a minimally invasive procedure that combines endoscopy and ultrasound to produce detailed images of the digestive tract, chest, and surrounding organs. During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube with a small ultrasound probe is inserted through the mouth and guided through the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. This allows for high-resolution images of the lining and walls of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as nearby organs such as the pancreas, liver, and lymph nodes. At Revere Health, we use EUS to help diagnose and evaluate a variety of conditions, providing a clearer view than traditional imaging methods.

When Is Endoscopic Ultrasound Recommended?
EUS is often recommended for:

Evaluating GI Disorders: Such as unexplained abdominal pain, pancreatitis, or bile duct issues.
Staging and Diagnosing Cancer: Provides detailed images of tumors in the digestive tract or nearby organs, helping determine the stage and spread of cancer.
Assessing Lymph Nodes: To check for metastasis or infection.
Guiding Fine-Needle Aspiration (FNA): Allows for precise biopsy of suspicious areas for further testing.

Benefits of Endoscopic Ultrasound
Enhanced Imaging: Combines endoscopy and ultrasound for detailed images of internal structures.
Minimally Invasive: Provides valuable information without the need for major surgery.
Guided Biopsies: Enables targeted biopsies to aid in accurate diagnosis.
