Increasing research related to endoscopic ultrasonography is published every year. A welcome trend towards outcomes-oriented research, evaluating the impact of endoscopic ultrasonography on patient management, is continuing. As experience regarding the safety and efficacy of endosonography-guided fine-needle aspiration in different clinical settings accumulates, this procedure is rapidly becoming a key component of endoscopic ultrasonography. Although promising developments in the fields of guided tissue sampling and image acquisition and analysis are being reported, innovative technical ideas need to be incorporated into the existing endoscopic ultrasound technology to take it to the next level of applications, such as endosurgery.
