ENDOSCOPY
The term endoscopy was contrived by combining Greek prefix endo - (within) and the verb skopein (to view or observe). The word skopy is not merely to look at but to view with a purpose, to observe with intent, to monitor.
Modern day gastrointestinal endoscope is a flexible instrument which provides high quality video image making diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in GI tract easier. Endosonography is one of the most noteworthy advances in GI Endoscopy during the 1980's.
