Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided intervention is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a flexible endoscope equipped with an ultrasound probe to visualize and access internal organs and tissues in the body. The ultrasound probe emits high-frequency sound waves that bounce off internal structures, creating detailed images of the surrounding tissues.
During EUS-guided intervention, a needle or other medical device is inserted through the endoscope and guided by ultrasound imaging to precisely target and access the area of interest, such as a tumor or a fluid-filled cavity. This allows for accurate biopsy sampling or drainage of the target tissue or organ.
EUS-guided intervention is used to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions, including cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and liver, as well as cysts and abscesses.
