Our GI Associates Use Endoscopic Ultrasonography to Evaluate or Treat Certain Conditions
Endoscopic ultrasound, also known as EUS or endoscopic ultrasonography, is a procedure that the GI associates at Northeastern Gastroenterology Associates can use to diagnose problems of the gastrointestinal walls and surrounding organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and lungs. This test produces medical images with a significant amount of detail without having to resort to invasive surgery. These images also help gastroenterology specialists get a better look at growths and other abnormalities found during prior testing and examinations.
Due to the advanced imaging capabilities that display accurate information about how deep into the tissue and other organs an abnormality has spread, EUS is often used as a method of monitoring and treating cancers of the respiratory and digestive systems. This test is also recommended for patients that are experiencing symptoms such as unexplainable abdominal pain or sudden weight loss. Whatever gastrointestinal symptoms you’re experiencing, our GI associates can help.
