Findings of Endoscopic US and CT of Esophageal Disease.

Various diseases can affect the esophagus. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), which provides precise information about the layers of the esophageal wall, is the primary approach used to investigate esophageal diseases. However, CT is one of the most important imaging modalities for diagnosing esophageal diseases as it can elucidate mediastinal involvement, adjacent lymphadenopathy, and distant disease spread. These two modalities complement each other in the diagnosis of esophageal diseases. Although radiologists may be unfamiliar with EUS procedures and their interpretation, understanding them aids in the differential diagnosis of esophageal conditions. This pictorial essay illustrates the EUS and CT findings of various esophageal diseases originating in the esophageal wall.
