Highlight Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration with contrast-enhanced harmonic imaging is useful for accurately and safely obtaining tissue from a gallbladder tumor. Tamura and colleagues demonstrate how contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasound facilitates puncturing the gallbladder tumor while avoiding fluid spaces as it demarcates the borderline between the tumor and fluid spaces.
