Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has been shown to be a useful tool in the staging of gastrointestinal, pancreaticobiliary, and mediastinal malignancies. EUS also plays a significant role in the evaluation of submucosal tumors, and its therapeutic role in celiac plexus neurolysis has been established in the setting of malignancy. Previously, the retroperitoneum has been difficult to image by conventional imaging modalities such as transabdominal ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) scan. Although endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is considered by many to be the gold standard for diagnosing chronic pancreatitis, it does not give information on the pancreatic parenchymal changes that may be seen in the early stages of chronic pancreatitis. EUS is highly sensitive in imaging the pancreas. In patients with a suspicion of chronic pancreatitis, especially in early stages, this is an invaluable tool. EUS appears to be more sensitive than ERCP and secretin testing in diagnosing mild chronic pancreatitis and thus may help to direct therapy. EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration is useful when pancreatic carcinoma is suspected in patients with chronic pancreatitis.
