ABCs of EUS: A Complete Roadmap (DV064)-Radial EUS of the Normal Mediastinum

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the radial EUS (endoscopic ultrasound) of the normal mediastinum. The speaker explains the importance of identifying key structures such as the esophagogastric junction (EG junction), aorta, Cruveilhier's fascia, spine, right pleura, left atrium, left pulmonary vein, azygous vein, thoracic duct, and trachea. The video demonstrates the process of passing the scope down into the esophagus, obtaining mucosal views, and identifying various anatomical features. The orientation of the ultrasound is compared to a CT scan, and the video also discusses structures in the neck, including carotids, subclavian arteries, and thyroid lobules. Situs inversus and an aberrant right subclavian artery variant are briefly mentioned. No specific credits are mentioned in the transcript.
