Your doctor may perform this procedure to examine the lining of the esophagus (swallowing tube), stomach, and upper part of the small intestine (duodenum).
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)
This procedure looks at your digestive system from the inside. It can be done for either your upper or lower digestive tract.
EUS-Guided FNA
When doctors need to examine a lump or mass that is underneath the skin, they perform a procedure called a FNA to biopsy that area.

ERCP is used mainly to treat diseases that have been detected by non-invasive imaging tests such as CT, MRCP scans, or Endoscopic Ultrasound.
