Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in identifying causes of biliary dilatation when other imaging methods like CT and MRI were inconclusive.
- Out of 121 patients, EUS successfully diagnosed the issue in 55.4% of cases, with ampullary neoplasms being the most common cause.
- EUS exhibited high diagnostic accuracy, with sensitivity and specificity rates of 95.65% and 94.23% respectively, making it a valuable tool for determining the cause of biliary issues when other imaging techniques fall short.
