Topics E-I
- EMR (endoscopic mucosal resection) Procedural Videos from ClinicalKeyA technique used for the staging and treatment of superficial neoplasms of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
- Endoscopoc Clipping Procedural Videos from ClinicalKeyMethod by which to deploy a hemostatic metal clip through a flexible endoscope for the purpose of hemostasis. (UptoDate, 2015)
- ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography): Videos from ERCP, 2nd Ed, 2013Fiberoptic endoscopy designed for duodenal observation and cannulation of Vater's Ampulla, in order to visualize the pancreatic and biliary duct system by retrograde injection of contrast media. Endoscopic (Vater) papillotomy may be performed during this procedure. (MeSH Definition, 2015)
- Esophageal sclerotherapy Procedural Videos from ClinicalKeyTreatment of varicose veins, hemorrhoids, gastric and esophageal varices, and peptic ulcer hemorrhage by injection or infusion of chemical agents which cause localized thrombosis and eventual fibrosis and obliteration of the vessels.

- Endoscopic Ultrasound: ASGE Technology Status Report (2015)EUS processes high-frequency sound waves to create ultrasound (US) images. Echoendoscopes are able to image both intramural structures and structures adjacent to the GI tract. (ASGE, 2015)
- GES (Gastric Emptying Study): Chapter 18 in CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Gastroenterology, Hepatology, & Endoscopy, 2nd Ed.Test for delayed gastric emptying is gastric emptying scintigraphy using radionuclide technetium 99–labeled food.
- HIDA (Hepatobiliary Iminodiacetic Acid) Scan: chapter 9 from Diagnostic Imaging for the Emergency Physician.When ultrasound or CT is nondiagnostic, hepatobiliary nuclear scintigraphy can be useful to detect acute cholecystitis and obstruction of the biliary ducts.
