Endoscopic ultrasound - Labelled

Image Description:

Illustration showing an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) procedure combining endoscopy and ultrasound to create highly detailed images of the oesophagus, stomach, digestive tract. A flexible, lighted tube with a tiny ultrasound probe/scanner is passed down the throat into the stomach or duodenum, allowing for close-up imaging. The ultrasound probe is close to the organs, hence it provides much higher-resolution images compared to external imaging like CT scans.
