Abstract:
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is one of the most significant advances in the history of gastrointestinal endoscopy. It is unsurpassed in local and regional staging of cancer of the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, and rectum. Recently, EUS has been applied to a number of benign conditions such as achalasia, difficult-to-diagnose gallbladder disease, and submucosal tumors. As EUS gains in popularity and increased clinical application in the United States, it is imperative that gastroenterology nurses and associates be aware of this ground-breaking technology and its indications.

Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
