endosonography

Preferred Label : endosonography;

MeSH definition : Ultrasonography of internal organs using an ultrasound transducer sometimes mounted on a fiberoptic endoscope. In endosonography the transducer converts electronic signals into acoustic pulses or continuous waves and acts also as a receiver to detect reflected pulses from within the organ. An audiovisual-electronic interface converts the detected or processed echo signals, which pass through the electronics of the instrument, into a form that the technologist can evaluate. The procedure should not be confused with ENDOSCOPY which employs a special instrument called an endoscope. The endo- of endosonography refers to the examination of tissue within hollow organs, with reference to the usual ultrasonography procedure which is performed externally or transcutaneously.;

MeSH synonym : echo endoscopies; echo endoscopy; endoscopy, ultrasonic; echo-endoscopies; ultrasonic endoscopy; endosonographies; endoscopy, echo; endoscopies, echo; echo-endoscopy; endoscopies, ultrasonic; ultrasonic endoscopies;

MeSH hyponym : ultrasonography, endoscopic; Endoscopic Ultrasonography; Endoscopic Ultrasonographies; Ultrasonographies, Endoscopic;

MeSH annotation : ultrasonogr of hollow organs: endo- within, not with endoscopy; coord IM with organ or dis /ultrasonogr; do not index under ENDOSCOPY or specific endoscopic technique unless also discussed in article; DF: ENDOSONOGR; coordinate with organ or disease /diag image; do not index ENDOSCOPY or specific endoscopic technique unless also discussed;
