While Endoscopic Ultrasound has become an indispensable tool for pre - operative staging and post operative follow-up of gastrointestinal tumor patients up to one third of esophageal and cardia tumor patients cannot be fully examined with the conventional ultrasonic endoscope because of stenosis in the esophagus. To meet the needs of this patient group, a slim ultrasonic probe for the esophagus was developed with leading endosonographers. This combines improved insertability even into narrow or stenotic sections of the esophagus with the endosonographic capability of the traditional staging tool, the Olympus ultrasonic endoscope.
