Abstract EN
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is the most sensitive imaging method for diagnosis of pancreatic tumors.
However, it still has limits in the differentiation between pancreatic cancers and inflammatory tumor-like masses.
A novel technology, contrast-enhanced harmonic EUS (CH-EUS), has been developed recently.
It can visualize both parenchymal perfusion and microvasculature in pancreas without Doppler-related artifacts.
Therefore, it is superior to EUS and CT in detecting small pancreatic masses and differential diagnosis of pancreatic masses.
CH-EUS could be used for adequate sampling of pancreatic tumors and may predict the pathological features of the pancreatic solid lesions but still cannot replace EUS-FNA now.
