| Popis: | Endosonography is a highly effective method of evaluating patients with lung cancer, malignant lymphadenopathy, and other mediastinal conditions such as cysts and masses. Due to the central location of the esophagus within the chest, transesophageal EUS offers reliable access to the posterior and inferior mediastinum. Endosonography can be used to assess non-specific generalized lymphadenopathy in the absence of a known primary. Interventional endosonography in the mediastinum with transesophageal drainage of mediastinal fluid collections has also been reported. |
