| [ Summary ] | Orientation is difficult with curvilinear endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), since the sections displayed in the images are atypical, and the learning curve can consequently be quite long. We described how to perform curvilinear EUS for the examination of inner abdominal organs and how to learn techniques for curvilinear EUS. | |
