title: [Endoscopic ultrasonography].
abstract: Despite being a well-described diagnostic procedure for more than ten years, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is not generally widespread in Denmark. This review deals with the present indications for EUS. For some diseases, EUS has found its precise place in the diagnostic strategy. However, in other diseases, it is not yet clear where to put EUS in relation to other diagnostic procedures.
