Endoscopic Ultrasonography


Book Description

Year on year, there continue to be dramatic changes in endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) since it was first introduced 30 years ago. Advances in technology have meant that as well as being used in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders, EUS is now one of the primary diagnostic and therapeutic modalities used in GI endoscopy. Back and improved for a new edition, Endoscopic Ultrasonography is the market-leading book covering the topic. Written by leading experts in the field, it provides a technical how-to approach to learning this advanced endoscopic procedure. The highly-acclaimed authors provide step-by-step guidance to the fundamentals of EUS, giving clear instructions on the instruments involved, the correct sedation procedures to follow and how EUS should be performed safely and effectively. Every chapter discusses a specific aspect of EUS as it relates to a particular gastrointestinal disorder or organ system. Brand new to this edition are: 1) Seven new chapters on the hottest topics in EUS: Learning Anatomy for EUS; Elastography; Lung Cancer; Autoimmune Pancreatitis; EUS for Liver Disease; Biliary Access; Pancreatic Fluid Collection Drainage 2) A complete update of all previous chapters to reflect the most current clinical recommendations 3) A host of new color images in every chapter Endoscopic Ultrasonography 3rd edition is the ideal tool to consult to improve EUS skills and improve patient management, and an essential purchase for all gastroenterologists and endoscopists.




Atlas of Endoscopic Ultrasonography


Book Description

The Atlas of Endoscopic Ultrasonography provides readers with a large collection of excellent images obtained from both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The Atlas includes a DVD which will be an invaluable addition to the library of trainee and practising gastroenterologists with video clips and searchable database of images. Together the book and DVD offer a first class collection of images to give a highly integrated introduction to endoscopic ultrasonography. The Atlas is an ideal companion to Dr Gress et al’s Endoscopic Ultrasonography, Second Edition.




Pancreatic Endoscopic Ultrasound


Book Description

This text stresses the importance of Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) - the combination of flexible endoscopy and ultrasound (U/S) - as a tool to see beyond the digestive tract into the human body, and in particular to visualize the pancreas, an endocrine organ which is hidden deep inside the retroperitoneum. Pancreatic cancer, which is increasing globally, remains one of the most aggressive and morbid cancers, and is only survivable if the cancer is detected early. EUS has become the primary tool used to diagnose such cancers, as well as a variety of other diseases affecting the pancreas. The text is intended for all physicians dealing with patients with pancreatic issues, and will provide them with indications and treatment algorithms for cost-effective referrals and diagnostic testing. For endoscopists an with interest in learning EUS, this book will guide them through this complex technology, helping them to better understand the physical and interpretational skills needed in order to perform pancreatic EUS in a simple and effective fashion.




Interventional Endoscopic Ultrasound


Book Description

This volume provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview on interventional endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Each chapter covers a single procedure or related group of procedures, features a detailed literature evaluation and tips on these cutting edge endoscopic techniques, and is accompanied by a comprehensive endoscopic video and illustrative endoscopic and ultrasonographic images. The text also reviews adverse events related to interventional EUS, both how to avoid them and how to manage them when they arise. Written by to endoscopic experts in the field, Interventional Endoscopic Ultrasound is a valuable resource for practicing gastroenterologists who perform advanced endoscopy.

Practical Handbook of Endoscopic Ultrasonography


Book Description

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has evolved from an obscure method of investigation in the 1980s to a distinct endoscopy subspecialty with interventional and therapeutic capabilities. The art of interpreting EUS images is a skill every endoscopist needs to master. This book helps to meet that need as it is concise, simple to read, and amply illustrated, and describes the technique in a step-by-step manner. Many high-resolution EUS images of diseases are included, and literature reviews are kept short and concise while separate discussions and illustrations are devoted to radial and linear techniques. The book can be used as a reference handbook in the endoscopy room, yet contains all of the relevant information required to perform EUS, interpret images, and reach a diagnosis. Important pathological conditions are thoroughly discussed using representative EUS images, pointing out salient differentiating features, and relevant literature reviews are included. The section on interventional EUS deals with advanced interventional or therapeutic procedures, and potential complications and methods to avoid them are discussed. For the novice, the book is designed to teach EUS using a step-by-step approach, and for the seasoned endosonographer it is a practical reference tool for use while performing EUS and may also serve in the differentiation of various pathologies.
