EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound)

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is a medical procedure that combines endoscopy and ultrasound technology. A thin, flexible tube with a camera and ultrasound device is inserted into the digestive tract, allowing doctors to visualize and assess organs like the pancreas, bile ducts, and surrounding tissues. It's particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as cancer, pancreatitis, or other abnormalities in the digestive system. EUS is minimally invasive, often performed under sedation, and helps guide further treatments or biopsies when necessary, making it an essential tool in modern gastroenterology.
