Gastroenterology and Liver

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) & Advanced Imaging

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has revolutionized gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary diagnostics, enabling high-resolution imaging and minimally invasive interventions. This session will focus on recent advancements in EUS technology, including fine-needle aspiration, elastography, contrast-enhanced imaging, and confocal endomicroscopy. Participants will explore clinical applications in tumor staging, pancreaticobiliary disorders, submucosal lesions, and cystic lesions of the liver and pancreas. Case-based presentations will highlight procedural techniques, complication management, and integration into routine clinical practice.

Moreover, the track will address the evolving role of advanced imaging modalities combined with EUS, including AI-assisted diagnostics, fusion imaging, and three-dimensional reconstructions. Discussions will emphasize diagnostic accuracy, workflow optimization, and training protocols for endoscopists. By attending this session, participants will gain comprehensive insights into cutting-edge imaging techniques, emerging technologies, and research opportunities that advance the field of gastroenterology and hepatology.
