Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The primary objective for this study is to compare the image quality of two endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) processors used for imaging of the pancreas. Processor images are used to make a correct clinical diagnosis and higher quality imaging is related to more accurate results. Patient care may be improved due to the information collected as part of this study. The quality of imaging is of utmost importance for diagnosing early neoplasms in the pancreas and diseases such as chronic pancreatitis. Image quality is dictated by two factors: image resolution and depth of penetration. Good imaging enables diagnosis of early stage disease and thereby facilitates early treatment.
