Innovationen in der Sonografie

Einleitung

Die Sonografie stellt in der Gastroenterologie das erste bildgebende Verfahren dar, welches routinemäßig bei der Abklärung verschiedener Erkrankungen eingesetzt wird. In den letzten Jahren kam es zu einem methodischen und technischen Fortschritt insbesondere in den Bereichen der Fusionstechnik sowie der kontrastverstärkten Endosonografie. Der vorliegende Artikel soll exemplarisch diese beiden genannten Techniken näher erörtern und die Bedeutung des technischen Fortschritts in der Sonografie innerhalb der Gastroenterologie aufzeigen.
