CLINICAL USEFULNESS OF NEWLY DEVELOPED ELECTRONIC 360° RADIAL ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASONOGRAPHY

After the development of the mechanical radial scanning echoendoscope by Olympus Medical Systems (Tokyo, Japan), endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has become an indispensable examination in the clinical fields. Although mechanical radial EUS has no Doppler function because of its scanning method, Olympus Medical Systems developed a new electronic 360° radial EUS in 2003. Newly developed electronic radial EUS provides better penetration, fewer artifacts, color Doppler and power Doppler function, and tissue harmonic imaging. Its maneuverability is nearly the same as conventional mechanical radial EUS. With Doppler function it is easy to differentiate solid tumors such as pancreatic cancer, islet tumor etc., and to diagnose vascular invasion. Although there are some problems, electronic radial EUS has a promising future and it is believed that electronic radial EUS will become the standard model for the next generation of EUS equipment in imaging diagnosis.
