Endoscopic ultrasound for GI disease diagnosis


People suffer from a range of conditions and diseases, some of them being very common. Of these common conditions is one- Gastrointestinal Disease which might affect your daily life. While it has a negative effect on your body, you can prevent the same with a timely diagnosis. The most popular method of diagnosing this condition is Endoscopic Ultrasound. This diagnostic method is a combination of two techniques which are ultrasound and endoscopy. It helps your doctor not only view the inside of your body but also evaluate them thoroughly to diagnose the presence of abnormality in the GI tract. 


Understanding the procedure 


This minimally invasive procedure, Endoscopic Ultrasound, uses an endoscope (camera) with ultrasound that uses high-frequency sound waves. The procedure helps to examine the GI tract and evaluate any abnormality with the same. The endoscope can be inserted either through the anus or the mouth for viewing the intestine, stomach, or esophagus. Because of the ultrasound during EUS, the doctors can easily view the GI tract or the organs adjacent to it. 


Working on Endoscopic Ultrasound


The working of endoscopic ultrasound is similar to that of abdominal ultrasound. The only difference is that the EUS obtains the source of sound waves from within the body. EUS has the potential to detect a cyst or a tumor that is transmitted to the computer which displays everything on the screen. When compared with abdominal ultrasound, EUS produces better images of the Gastrointestinal tract and the organs in the surrounding area. While other methods of imaging like CT and MRI can miss, this imaging method can precisely identify cysts and tumors. 


Uses of EUS


The purpose of EUS is for detecting a range of diseases and conditions. Let's give a quick view to some of them:

● Diagnosing chronic pancreatitis

● Detecting stones in the biliary duct

● Helps to treat the liver and the pancreas with the right medicines

● Identify cysts or tumors present even in the pancreas

● Evaluate the cancerous regions of the stomach, rectum, esophagus, and colon to determine the staging of cancer. 

● It also helps to drain any kind of abnormal fluid collection within your GIT.
