Comparing two methods for examining gastrointestinal lesions

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This trial compares the standard echoendoscope with the newly developed EndoSound Visual System for evaluating lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a key procedure for diagnosing pancreatic and bile duct diseases, and this study aims to assess whether the EndoSound Visual System offers advantages over traditional methods. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard or the new system during their EUS examination. The goal is to determine which method provides better diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.

Why it matters

Exclusion Criteria:

* Age \< 18 years.
