N2 - Contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasound (CE-EUS) has emerged as a promising diagnostic modality for assessing biliary diseases. CE-EUS is a noninvasive imaging technique that utilizes contrast agents to enhance the visualization of blood vessels and perfusion within target tissues. In the context of biliary diseases, CE-EUS allows for improved characterization of biliary lesions, aiding in differential diagnosis and treatment planning. This review highlights several key findings regarding the usefulness of CE-EUS in biliary disease assessment and therapeutic procedures.
