Core Tip
Core tip: Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is superior investigation than ultrasonography for imaging gall bladder (GB). Different techniques of imaging of GB by EUS have been described by different authors but a standard technique has not been specifically described. We herein discuss the techniques of imaging of GB by linear EUS from three different stations.
