The application of low echo reduction in endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition for pancreatic mass lesions
Graphical Abstract
Toyonaga and colleagues demonstrate, with accompanying video, the use of low echo reduction, which is a novel endoscopic ultrasound function provided by a new endoscopic ultrasound processor that increases contrast without white-out. Low echo reduction might be useful in improving lesion boundaries and needle visibility during endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition.
