Abstract:
Standard upper gastrointestinal flexible radial EUS probes are well suited for imaging of anorectum and pelvic pathologies. They offer multiple advantages over conventional rigid rectal probes. The current transducers allow imaging at variable frequencies and are Doppler capable. The flexible shaft of the endoscope and optics allow easy probe insertion to upper sigmoid. Flexible radial EUS probes allow evaluation of anal sphincter complex, rectosigmoid mural pathologies, and paraluminal pelvic disorders. A thorough understanding of pelvic anatomy and image orientation is the key to appropriate image interpretation. In this review, we describe the principles and methodology for anorectal EUS imaging using a flexible radial EUS probe.

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:

Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
