Up close pictures of the digestive tract and the surrounding organs can be seen using endoscopic ultrasound.  This advanced imaging technique is now available at Oak Ridge Gastroenterology.  Using a scope with an small ultrasound probe on the tip, very detailed images can be obtained.

Endoscopic ultrasound is frequently used to evaluate problems found on other tests such as a CT scan.  In addition, evaluation of external organs such as the gallbladder can be done.
