An update on echoendoscopy with a curved array transducer in the evaluation of pancreatobiliary disease.
Little information is available about echoendoscopy with an electronic curved array transducer for evaluation of pancreatobiliary disease. Only one study has been published, and two abstracts were presented at the last World Gastroenterology Congress in Los Angeles, California in 1994. In this article, the results of these studies are reviewed and compared with previously reported results using radial echoendoscopy systems.
