BACKGROUND: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle injection (EBUS-TBNI) is a novel technique for treating peribronchial targets. The aim of this study was to evaluate preliminary feasibility of thrombolysis of pulmonary emboli via EBU...
BACKGROUND: Although endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is reported to be suitable for determining the layer from which subepithelial lesions (SELs) originate, it is difficult to distinguish gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) from non-GIST using only EUS...
OBJECTIVE: The diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is challenging. Sonographic and cross-sectional imaging findings of AIP closely mimic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and techniques for tissue sampling of AIP are suboptimal. These li...

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is an essential diagnostic tool for various types of pancreatic diseases such as pancreatic tumors and chronic pancreatitis; however, EUS imaging has low specificity for the diagnosis of pancreatic diseases. Artificia...
BACKGROUND: Detailed evaluation of bile duct (BD) is main focus during endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). The aim of this study was to develop a system for EUS BD scanning augmentation.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: This study aimed to investigate whether AI via a deep learning algorithm using endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) images could predict the malignant potential of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).
The introduction of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration into clinical practice was a pivotal moment for diagnostic gastrointestinal endoscopy. It facilitates the ease of tissue acquisition from previously inaccessible sites. The perfo...
Few reports have demonstrated robotic surgery for large tumors in the upper esophagus. We report a case of a 52-year-old woman with a giant submucosal tumor in the upper esophagus successfully enucleated using robotic surgery. She presented with odyn...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: We aimed to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based object detection model for the discrimination of gastric subepithelial tumors, such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), and leiomyomas, in endoscopic ultrasoun...
