| Abstract: | It is likely that new endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)‐guided therapies, particularly those that aim to provide local therapy to a neoplastic lesion, will require more sophisticated instrumentation than currently available. In particular, current linear array echoendoscopes are able to image only in two dimensions. New EUS‐guided interventions to ablate tumors might benefit from the development of echoendoscopes which can provide three‐dimensional (3D) images of tumors or lymph nodes. This paper describes the development of such a system. |
