Explore the evolving role of Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) in pancreatic disease through this informative conference talk by Dr. Stephen Kim from UCLA. Delve into various EUS devices, including the linear echoendoscope, and compare their effectiveness with CT scans and MRI. Examine cystic lesions, their classification, and diagnostic techniques such as confocal laser endomicroscopy. Analyze case studies, discuss diagnostic yields, and learn about cyst biopsy procedures. Investigate new devices and their applications, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA), while considering their limitations and available data. Gain insights into the latest advancements in EUS technology and its impact on diagnosing and treating pancreatic diseases.
