Endoscopic Ultrasound in Inflammatory Diseases of the Pancreas

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Inflammatory diseases of the pancreas, particularly acute and chronic pancreatitis, are some of the most commonly encountered diagnoses in gastroenterology. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) should be considered complementary to cross-sectional imaging that is often performed for these disorders. With the ability to perform precise guided tissue sampling and therapeutic interventions, EUS has an ever-growing role in the diagnosis and management of pancreatic pathology. This chapter reviews the role of EUS imaging and tissue sampling in inflammatory diseases of the pancreas.
