EUS Reasons We Review in Houston
Pancreas or bile duct concerns
EUS may help evaluate pancreatic cysts, masses, bile duct findings, gallbladder concerns, or unexplained upper abdominal symptoms.
Abnormal imaging findings
If CT, MRI, ultrasound, or lab results show unclear findings, EUS can provide a closer view of nearby digestive organs and tissue layers.
Need for tissue sampling
When appropriate, EUS can help guide fine-needle sampling so results can be reviewed by pathology.
