title: A primer on linear array endosonographic anatomy.
abstract: Linear array endosonography, with its capacity to perform EUS-guided FNA and EUS-guided injections, as well as color mapping and Doppler ultrasonography, is becoming an important instrument for the endosonographer. Familiarity with linear array anatomy, as introduced here, is the critical foundation on which these diagnostic and therapeutic procedures can be performed safely and effectively.
