In particular, EUS has been considered the method of choice in diagnosing esophageal carcinoma due to the relative ease in performing the examination and the accuracy of staging based on high-resolution ultrasonic imaging from within the lumen of the esophagus. This comprehensive review covers currently available EUS instruments, image characteristics of esophageal carcinoma, and images by the recently introduced miniprobe scanner. The role of the method in diagnosing superficial esophageal carcinoma and the possible treatment by endoscopic mucosal resection of this particular disease entity are discussed. by the Société Internationale de Chirurgie, 2000 Fukuda Morimichi Department of Diagnostic Ultrasound and Medical Electronics, Sapporo Medical University Hospital, Minami 1-jo, Nishi 16-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, JP aut Hirata Kenichiro Department of Diagnostic Ultrasound and Medical Electronics, Sapporo Medical University Hospital, Minami 1-jo, Nishi 16-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, JP aut Natori Hiroshi Department of Diagnostic Ultrasound and Medical Electronics, Sapporo Medical University Hospital, Minami 1-jo, Nishi 16-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, JP aut World Journal of Surgery Springer-Verlag 24/2(2000-02-01), 216-226 0364-2313 24:2<216 2000 24 268 https://doi.org/10.1007/s002689910035 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s002689910035 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Fukuda Morimichi Department of Diagnostic Ultrasound and Medical Electronics, Sapporo Medical University Hospital, Minami 1-jo, Nishi 16-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, JP aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Hirata Kenichiro Department of Diagnostic Ultrasound and Medical Electronics, Sapporo Medical University Hospital, Minami 1-jo, Nishi 16-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, JP aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Natori Hiroshi Department of Diagnostic Ultrasound and Medical Electronics, Sapporo Medical University Hospital, Minami 1-jo, Nishi 16-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, JP aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- World Journal of Surgery Springer-Verlag 24/2(2000-02-01), 216-226 0364-2313 24:2<216 2000 24 268 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
