Endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic fiducial placement: how important is ideal fiducial geometry?

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) quality benchmarks for pancreatic disease previously focused on maintaining thresholds of diagnostic accuracy for fine-needle aspiration and measuring complications. We aimed to evaluate quality indicators when performing EUS specifically for the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis ...
