Aim: Endoscopic ultrasound is a widely accepted imaging method for staging of ductal adenocarcinoma and the localization of neuroendocrine tumours of the pancreas. We prospectively evaluated conventional colour Doppler imaging (CDI) and contrast enhanced endoscopic Doppler ultrasound (CE-EDUS) as a new imaging technique for further characterization and differentiation of solid pancreatic tumours.
