Advanced EUS imaging enhances diagnosis and treatment success rates

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) with novel scopes and ultrasound systems proves effective for diagnosing pancreaticobiliary diseases, evidenced by a 100% success rate in interventional procedures. Although shear wave velocity (SWV) showed no significant differences among various pancreatic conditions, variations in effective SWV were noted. The advanced imaging techniques, including detective flow imaging (DFI) and shear wave elastography (SWE), significantly improve diagnostic accuracy and procedural safety, making them valuable tools in managing complex pancreatobiliary conditions.
