title: Endoscopic ultrasound scanning of the upper gastrointestinal tract using a curved linear array transducer: "the linear anatomy".
abstract: During the last few years endoscopes with electronic array transducers have been introduced, making EUS-guided biopsy possible. However, only a few studies have been published with this kind of instrument. In this article, the EUS examination procedure and the normal anatomy of the upper gastrointestinal tract using a curved linear array transducer are described.
